Abstract
Perhaps in ironic reference to the sentimental, idyllic postwar genre of the Heimatfilm (homeland film), Rainer Werner Fassbinder once said, famously, that he was trying to construct a house with his films, which is hard, enervating, and even dangerous work. Many filmmakers have left their own houses half-finished. But, with the possible exception of, say, Yasujiro Ozu, Fassbinder was the only one who left a beautiful, livable dwelling into which others might enter and be inspired to build their own.
