What would happen if Fassbinder had come to Hollywood to make films? Through this engaging portrait of the German émigré film community in contemporary Hollywood, Robert Fischer seeks the answer to that question as he searches for insights into the art of the departed master of New German Cinema. Intercut with excerpts from the director’s key works are incisive interviews with actors Ulli Lommel and Hanna Schygulla, director Wim Wenders, and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus.
