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