Rainer Werner Fassbinder 's glittering black drama has been one of this year's festival talking-points, culminating in its London screening this week.
Ariane and Gerhard Christ say goodbye: each is going on a business trip. They meet again sooner than either expected, having chosen the same country castle for a weekend with their respective lovers. When their daughter arrives as well, carefully concealed antagonisms and tensions increase to a devastating climax.
