Provincetown Film Art Series: Fox and His Friends
The Provincetown Film Art Series, now in its 18th year, is sponsored by the Provincetown Film Society (PFS) and Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) and curated and hosted by film scholar Howard Karren. Films in the series, both recent and vintage, are chosen around central themes, but the focus is on films about artists and creativity, and films that are themselves works of art.
Fox and His Friends (1975)
Directed and cowritten by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. With Fassbinder and Peter Chatel. In German, subtitled. 2 hours, 4 minutes.
The ’70s movies of Rainer Werner Fassbinder are dazzling as a whole and devastating individually. Most are fables of soullessness set in postwar West Germany, and so is this story of a poor gay carny who wins the lottery and is viciously exploited, played with sullen passion by Fassbinder himself.
