Beware of a Holy Whore
Sunday, Feb 8 -- 7pm only
CONTEMPT by way of Warhol’s factory.
At once Fassbinder’s most accessible and self-indulgent film, Beware of
a Holy Whore catalogs the emotional baggage of actors holed up inside a Spanish
seaside hotel during a tedious and under-financed movie shoot. The film is, at
first glance, about making movies. Upon closer look, though, it’s really
about Rainer Werner Fassbinder making movies. (Excerpt by Ed Gonzalez) Germany,
1971, in German with English subtitles, color, 103 min, unrated.
