Three of RW Fassbinder's early works united together in a single release. Each reworking the gangster noir genre, a la the French New Wave, these three Fassbinder films are some of the most interesting and intriguing of the New German Cinema movement. The loose trilogy of Love is Colder Than Death, Gods Of the Plague and The American Soldier, each shot in black and white, represent an iconoclastic artist's journey though narrative and form.
Gods Of the Plague
Franz Walsch has been newly released from prison after his girlfriend, Johanna, informed the police of his criminal plans. But despite his rehabilitation, Franz finds himself being sucked back in to his old life...
