ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL (1974) -- Emmi meets Ali
Loading...

Loneliness is briefly overcome as a pair of tender souls unite. Like Ophuls before him, Fassbinder conceives the dancefloor as a refuge from a ruthlessly self-righteous society. The director freezes his secondary characters - the enforcers of that misguided sanctimony - rendering them fossilised statues in an inflexible world. Against this backdrop of unerring stasis (both moral and physical), Emmi and Ali's nervously kinetic union has all the velocity of a lightning bolt, striking directly at the latent prejudice and blatant misunderstanding that's too frequently synonymous with race relations. Alas, the safety of the dancefloor cannot shield this delicate duo forever - but although they're all too aware of the socially-prescribed barriers that contrive to separate them ("German master. Arab dog."), for now they will play ignorant; disregarding all inquisitive eyes, and allowing their hearts to quietly carve out a rare moment of mutual comfort. A gorgeous scene from the greatest of all melodramas.

@strangemenssana Where in the world Brigitte Mira had a tragic storie of life. Yes, she had many divorces, but her last husband was her friend about 25 years. She went to the age of 91 and was a well known actress.
