Details

The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant is based on the original play of the same name by Fassbinder - undoubtedly, one of the most prolific European writers and directors of the 20th century. As this poignant story of female love unfolds, intimate and gladiatorial performances meet with an explosive score.
