The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Fear Eats the Soul? (1974) at East Dulwich Tavern on 21 July 2016


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Fear Eats the Soul? (1974) at 8pm on Thursday, 21 July 2016, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


A lonely working class widow Emy (Birgitte Mira) meets a much younger Arab immigrant working as a mechanic Ali (El Hedi Ben Salem), whom she falls in love with. The poignancy of the love affair is contrasted with the bitterness of family, colleagues and society?s reaction to a love that breaks racial boundaries.


Rainer Werner Fassbinder was a hugely influential and prolific director/writer/actor who kick-started a renaissance in filmmaking in West Germany with his distinctive, controversial and ground-breaking work which sought to document and expose the hypocrisies and complacency of the post-war West German society. This film, modelled loosely on Douglas Sirk?s 1955 melodrama All That Heaven Allows (about a middle class widow who falls in love with a much younger gardener), explores the deep-rooted prejudices about race, sex, politics and class in 1970s Germany, which are no less relevant today.


Fassbinder is at his best in this film achieving a balance between emotional involvement and critical distance and exemplifies a tenderness not usually seen in his films.


Director/writer: Rainer Werner Fassbinder with Birgitte Mira and El Hedi Ben Salem, Barbara Valentin

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
