Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s homage to All that Heaven Allows has since become one of his most powerful love stories. Ali: Fear Eats the Soul unravels a love affair between two unlikely characters: a lonely German widow in her sixties and a Moroccan immigrant worker in his thirties. When the couple spontaneously marries, they face constant bigotry and criticism, but their own insecurities about their future may be insurmountable.
