Main Cast: Oliver Masucci, Hary Prinz, Katja Riemann, Frida-Lovisa Hamann, Eva Mattes
Genre: Biopic


The episodic feature film focuses on the life and work of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who polarised both professionally and privately, and who is undoubtedly Germany's most important filmmaker of the last 50 years. In stylised, theatrical settings the film shows Fassbinder's genius, the harassment to which he exposed his environment not only through his work frenzy, and the search for love that drove him throughout his life. 

"Enfant Terrible" is director Oskar Roehler's 134-minute overlong grand bow to the iconic genius of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. In doing so, Roehler can fully rely on his charismatic lead actor: Oliver Masucci seems at one with his character. (Pitt Herrmann)

Selected for the International Competition at Cannes 2020.
