Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974) Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. 1hr 34min. Not Rated.

Catch Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974), directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder as part of our film series Pretty, Witty and Gay—in conversation with the David Hockney exhibition. The film explores the unlikely romance between an older German woman and a younger Moroccan migrant worker. Utilizing a minimalist and muted aesthetic, the film employs a stripped-down style to amplify the story.
