Directed by Rosa von Praunheim, A Man Like Eva is a fascinating meta-biopic about Rainer Werner Fassbinder, starring Eva Mattes as a fictionalized version of the controversial German filmmaker. The film blends documentary, satire, and psycho-drama to explore the creative chaos behind Fassbinder’s work and personal life. Rarely seen outside Europe, this analog edition remains a unique artifact of New German Cinema’s post-modern experimentation.
