Rainer Werner Fassbinder not only directed Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (Angst essen Seele auf), but also scripted the film, designed the sets, and produced. Brigitte Mira heads the cast as a lonely German cleaning woman, who enters into an affair with equally lonely--and much, much younger--Moroccan mechanic El Hedi Ben Salem. They marry, despite the shocked, bigoted reactions of those around them. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

A beautiful film about how love can flourish at any age and regardless of who the lovers are or who the ones in love are. This is a film without sex, and it really benefits from it. Furthermore, it beautifully portrays how the love between two people can be a thorn in the side for others, as they live only to judge and hold prejudices. The scenes are breathtakingly powerful.
