Satan's Brew description Almost certainly the wildest movie ever made by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Satan's Brew is as unhinged as some of the director's masterpieces are rigorously controlled. A kind of gross-out comedy on art and fame, Satan's Brew takes as its hero a celebrated poet, played by longtime RWF cohort Kurt Raab, whose resemblance to Peter Lorre is uncanny. In the first of the film's many affronts to good taste, the poet kills his wealthy mistress in an S&M game, thus prompting a financial crisis--he may even be forced to start writing again. The movie careens from one jaw-dropping oddity to the next, inspiring the suspicion that Mike Myers may have seen it before inventing his "Dieter" character. This depraved three-ring circus is not the way to be introduced to Fassbinder, but the director's fans will be amused. To quote the movie itself: "An epic from the sordid depths of humanity!" --Robert Horton |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | It isn't like any other Fassbinder film |
| This film makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. Kurt Raab really brings down the house here - in this intelligent comedy about loss of identity. This has a lot of the same charm as Almodovar's 'What Have I Done to Deserve This' (in fact, I would suggest that movie as a companion piece to this one)
Fassbinder's films always abound with intelligence and esoteric meaning - I have seen this movie several times and would watch it again at the drop of a hat - I always catch little things I did not notice before. Anyway, watch this movie for Kurt Raab's performance alone! |
