Fox and His Friends/ Faustrecht der Freiheit (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany, 1985)

A film that frightened me when I first saw it as a teenager. Richard’s only now seen it. Does it hold up? Made at a time when there was a real dearth of representation, this is a daring work, as queer as a film can be, on many levels. The problem is not homosexuality but bourgeois exploitation, including by gay men. Why hasn’t Fassbinder been canonised by all the young queer boys? We speculate on…

WIP first lines

Got tagged by the amazing @cypanache for this one, def a good question for an early morning… I have 2 WIPs - one actively worked on, and honestly I have no idea how I ended up writing it in the first place, another one is a bit of a thought rather than a real story at this point. Now, fair warning - they are first lines of next chapters written now, by the time of positing they may well end up somewhere in the middle or even at the end. 1. Both Sides Now - Thrawn / Leia, but can read as an & now, I guess…

“Tell me, Senator, what’s better than a hero?”

“A fallen hero.”  

“Perhaps. But in most cases… a dead hero, for he or she can then become a symbol and a banner for revenge, helps that he would never compete for power or cause trouble, too.”

2. Mirror images (RPF, Romy Schneider and Karlheinz Bohm, don’t ask why, possibly the first disillusionment when a childhood fairytale I grew up watching had a very sad ending in real life)

Every time she comes here, she feels a pull, the taste of missed opportunities and crashed hopes bitter on her tongue, calling for a smoke or a drink – something, anything to wash away the feeling. Every Christmas at home feels like a reckoning: a distorted, merciless mirror to her life or what has become of it. The contrast of a girl she once was and the woman she became too jarring to bear, making the urge to close her eyes and run away again almost unbearable.  

It’s easy to forget, in her day to day life, to erase that Romy from the memory, but every time she comes home, the girl also comes back with a vengeance. Like a light cutting her eyes after a pinch black night, it brings no relief, just a desire to seek a comforting refuge of darkness, sleep, alcohol and make pretend.
