A once-beloved Third Reich-era starlet, Veronika Voss (Rosel Zech) lives in obscurity in postwar Munich. Struggling for survival and haunted by past glories, she encounters sportswriter Robert Krohn in a rain-swept park and intrigues him with her mysterious beauty. Based on the true story of a World War II Ufa star, Fassbinder’s Veronika Voss is wicked satire disguised as a 1950s melodrama.

Germany in the autumn of 1957: Lola (Barbara Sukowa), a seductive cabaret singer – prostitute, exults in her power as a tempter of men, but she wants more – money, property, and love. Shot in childlike candy colors, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Lola, an homage to Josef von Sternberg’s classic The Blue Angel, is a wonderfully satirical tribute to capitalism.

A four-part programme of psychogeographic shorts and features, selected by Joel Whitaker.
