1976, 112 mins, Germany, III
One of Fassbinder’s most difficult films, Satan’s Brew is dominated by a sarcastically bitter and sometimes cynical undertone. Walter Kranz, a modern poet, has been unable to produce anything in the past two years. One day, he writes a very nice poem, but it turns out to be the same poem written by another German poet. This throws him into a major crisis of identity. This film was made when Fassbinder was considered exhausted, and not so creative anymore. In this respect, there is no doubt a cross-reference to the poet in this film.
