J. Hoberman: “The Single Antidote to Thoughts of Suicide”: Fassbinder’s American Reception
Exotic yet familiar, astonishingly prolific, R.W. Fassbinder had a greater impact on American cineastes and independent filmmakers than any European auteur since Jean-Luc Godard in the ‘60s. But the ‘70s were not the ‘60s and Fassbinder’s greatest period was almost behind him by the time he was discovered by a larger US audience. What did this prodigy mean to Americans then and what is his legacy now?
J. Hoberman, born 1948 in Brooklyn, NY, film critic and author. He started at The Village Voice in the 1970s, and was the senior film critic from 1988 to 2012. Books (selection): Vulgar Modernism: Writing on Film and Other Media (1991), The Magic Hour: Film at Fin de Siècle (2003), The Dream Life: Movies, Media, and the Mythology of the Sixties (2003), An Army of Phantoms: American Movies and the Making of the Cold War (2011).
