With a black-and-white cinematography that emulates the visual style of movies from the 1950s, this bleak story – the second of Fassbinder’s BRD Trilogy – invests in a downbeat approach, icier than the other two, with an end that curiously parallels the director’s own demise.
The title sequence of Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss (“The longing of Veronika Voss”, Rainer Werner Fassbinder 1982) is set in Glastonbury which – until now – was not yet featured on Fonts in Use.
