An official selection of the Cannes That Didn’t Happen, a new biopic exploring the life of one of the most prolific directors of all-time, German New Wave icon Rainer Werner Fassbinder, is now coming to the U.S. starting this week. Directed by Oskar Roehler, the new trailer for Enfant Terrible has now arrived courtesy of Dark Star Pictures.

Starring Oliver Masucci, Hary Prinz, Katja Riemann, and Felix Hellmann, the film explores the drug-fueled, limitlessly creative life of the director. Before his death at the age of 37, Fassbinder had made over 40 films and two TV series, as well as completing nearly 25 plays, and more. The trailer hints at a committed performance by Masucci, in what will hopefully be a compelling rise and fall story that sidesteps biopic cliches.

Enfant Terrible

Oskar Roehler is one of Germany’s most well-traveled directors, so his desire to mount a portrayal of Rainer Werner Fassbinder in his latest feature Enfant Terrible isn’t surprising. Produced by Markus Zimmer through Bavaria Filmproduktion, Roehler taps Oliver Masucci (who played Hitler in the adaptation of Look Who’s Back) to play Fassbinder. His supporting cast consists of Katja Riemann, Hary Prinz, Anton Rattinger, Felix Hellmann, Erdal Yildiz, Jochen Schropp, Sunnyi Melles and Isolde Barth. Roehler premiered his 2004 title Agnes and His Brothers in the Horizons sidebar in Venice and competed in Sundance’s World Dramatic competition in 2009 with Lulu and Jimi.…...
