"記敘一部電影就宛如作家說一個故事, 差別就在於: 當一個人讀一本書, 做為讀者他建立了自己的印象; 但當故事拍成電影呈現在螢幕上, 是具象與完整的....我希望觀眾"讀"電影. 電影給予觀眾沒有的經驗和衝擊....這是電影最有意義之處.  (Fassbinder in Fassbinder, ed. by Tony Rayns, 1976)

法斯賓達 Rainer Werner Fassbinder (May 31, 1945 – June 10, 1982)

法斯賓達: 導演, 劇作家, 演員.

法斯賓達被喻為「心理學上的佛洛依德,舞臺上的莎士比亞」. 他的作品著眼於小人物與社會百態(同志, 族群, 勞工, 移民, 階級,  怨偶, 娼妓, 情慾, 藥物, 脫序, 剝削等命題) ; 大環境的掙扎和隨波逐流. 他是位具有政治導向的電影工作者, 主題是戰後德國的政治與社會的腐化.

 讓電影發生影響力是他所堅持的. 法斯賓達除了將德國近代作家作品拍成電影, 後期也有商業電影的拍攝, 可以說是跟這社會脈動的電影工作者. 26歲開始拍片, 37歲便死於用藥過量. 14年的拍片生涯, 總共執導過43部電影, 作品獲得多項影展大獎.

德國新電影運動三傑: 法斯賓達, 荷索(Werner Herzog）, 溫德斯(Wim Wenders)
