When you watch the film today, you think it's him, it's Fassbinder.
00:05
And that Volker understood so early on what this man had in him and what he was portraying.
00:13
That was brilliant of Volker.
00:15
I found it fascinating how someone managed, even though he didn't violate the law,
00:21
to pull it over to himself.
00:24
On the fourth day, I smear the paper with red summer,
00:28
pale, wild and moldy,
00:32
and fight with the bottle of schnapps.
00:37
Defeats happen here.
00:40
But the bodies begin to flee back into the dark, into the Egyptian darkness.
00:47
I hit them against the wooden walls, but I'm not allowed to drink schnapps.
00:51
He was so disciplined.
00:53
I mean, he had to act indisciplined.
00:56
He was an undisciplined, anarchist person.
01:00
But he himself was from such a discipline.
01:03
He came in the morning and had all the texts.
01:06
They were difficult texts.
01:08
You don't learn them by heart.
01:10
You don't learn them by heart the next morning,
01:12
if you quickly look up what I have to say.
01:14
You really had to.
01:16
And he cut a film at that point.
01:20
He wrote a new script.
01:22
And he wrote a radio play in the evening.
01:26
And we started shooting at 9 o'clock.
01:29
He worked in such a way, as he always did later on.
01:34
People always asked themselves,
01:36
how did this man manage to shoot four films a year?
01:39
Because he had this incredible discipline.
01:42
And I found it very sympathetic of him
01:46
that he tried to incorporate his entire anti-theater.
01:50
Harnaschikula and Irm Hermann
01:52
and his entire troupe he subdued.
01:55
They finally made some money.
01:57
Because you didn't earn anything with Fassbinder.
02:00
They all acted for him and because they wanted to be together.
02:03
And in general, that was the beginning of their entire career.
02:07
There is love between heaven and earth.
02:10
Why are you so cowardly?
02:12
He developed a bond with each other,
02:14
which we somehow managed to create.
02:17
Although I noticed that he was gay
02:20
and didn't have much left for women.
02:23
You noticed that when you played with him.
02:26
He wasn't the usual man who looks at a woman.
02:30
But that made it particularly exciting.
02:33
It's getting dark and you smell me.
02:36
That's how it is with animals.
02:39
Now you're one of us.
02:41
Leave me alone.
02:43
My name is Baal.
02:45
Leave me alone.
