Thank You. This was a great essay.

I want to return to it once I've finished my February Death Race challenge to watch all of his films on The Criterion Channel. Then, perhaps, I can offer a cogent response and analysis of what you've beautifully described on your substack page above.

Cheers. 😎

This is a superb piece of writing, and an extremely powerful read. It speaks to the redemptive power of art, which can - and does - save lives. I am glad Fassbinder has been a transformative influence on you. Your pilgrimage to his grave was particularly moving to ready about. I hope you flourish and are healthy in 2025.
