Dedicated by Fassbinder to a lover who committed suicide, the film follows a transsexual during the last five days of his life as he contemplates the past and the unlikely possibility for a future. A relentlessly pessimistic film, In a Year of Thirteen Moons is filled with harsh colors, asymmetrical sets, and a discordant soundtrack. Fassbinder's shifting narrative evokes the squalor of his character's situation and portrays the city of Frankfurt am Main as an oppressive metropolis populated by the mad and the perverse.
