CGiii Comment

Some say it is his best, some - his worst.

No matter what - it will always remain important, particularly because most of Fassbinder's work acts as a precursor to the works of Haynes, Solondz, Clark et al.

13 Moons is, at times, unbearable to watch but it slaps the human face with the harsh reality that it prefers to ignore.

Definitely, one of his best.

The(ir) Blurb...

This drama follows the last few days in the life of Elvira (formerly Erwin) Weisshaupt. Years before, Erwin told a co-worker, Anton, that he loved him. "Too bad, you aren't a woman," he replied. Erwin took Anton at his word. Trying to salvage something from the wreckage love has made of his life, he now hopes that Anton will not reject him again.
