This precursor of cyberpunk set in 1989 stars Rainer Werner Fassbinder in his last screen role. Squeezed into a leopard skin suit he wanders a garish utopian world as a police lieutenant who, while investigating a bomb threat against a powerful media co-operation, uncovers the latter’s ruthless plot to suppress all independent intellectual thought. With a soundtrack by Edgar Froese and Tangerine Dream, this is a rare screening of a cult classic.
FRG 1981 /1982, colour, 106 mins. With English subtitles. Director: Wolf Gremm.
Introduced by Moviedrome co-hosts, filmmakers Ben Rivers and Shezad Daewood, along with a specially selected secret short.
