Love Is Colder Than Death (1969)

Rainer Werner Fassbinders directorial debut stars Ulli Lommel, Hanna Schygulla, and Fassbinder himself caught in an underworld love triangle. Shunned at the 19th Berlin International Film Festival, the film is seen as exemplary of Fassbinders style and is indicative of youth and its ardor, its urgency, its irrepressible outpouring of creative energy.
