Fassbinder in his own film?


When Petra and Karin read the newspaper (Bremer Nachrichten) review of Petra's new collection, Petra points out a photo accompanying the article. There are three figures in the photo: Petra, Karin, and an unmentioned man. Is that Fassbinder himself?

reply

yes. he makes appearances in several of his films.

reply

Yes, in fact is a picture of the shooting of the movie itself. They have to include it during post-production.
Fassbinder appears in most of his films, and not just cameos, in "Fox and His Friends" he plays the lead role.

reply

It's similar to Hitchcock's cameo in "Lifeboat". I wonder if Fassbinder knew about that or was it just coincidental?

It's very likely he did know, he was a nut for Hollywood movies.
