The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant
Film Description Fassbinder's dazzling appropriation of the studio melodrama (or 'woman's picture') into the New cinema of West Germany is really quite extraordinary.

Accomplished both visually and technically, the emotional register becomes especially poignant when Petra listens to the Walker Brothers' In My Room on her bedside record player.
