“No less than any other film of his career, it illustrates the radical will behind Fassbinder’s art.”
—CINE-FILE

“A wildly sardonic sense of visual and dramatic excitement…pure and ecstatic B-movie fun.”
—The New Yorker

You would expect a glossy sci-fi epic directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder to be pretty weird, and you’d be right. WORLD ON A WIRE shows us Fassbinder the world-builder as he constructs a noir-ish, paranoid future in which reality itself is the enemy. Presented in two parts, the way it initially aired on German television. Screening in 35mm.
