And how could it be a saturnine Saturday when you will be in the trusted company of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and friends. There's more kartoffelsalat in the kitchen too. Some creme de la Krimi and some stately comedy a la Rank. Mommy-o's and Daddy-o's delight to the hip cool beats kitted out in a teenage-angst tapestry , disillusioned dystonia. Pariahs on fire. Hot Dawg!
ON THE AIR NOW
Eye Of The Devil (1966) Lee J Thompson's chiller thriller that boasts quite an ambitious cast with names like David Niven and Donald Pleasance and the tragic Sharon Tate who is bewitching and beguiling as per and one of the few performances of her cruelly curtailed life. This film
This film spurred on that excursion to a certain Summerisle, in which Anthony Shaffer was indubitably inspired. And your ears certainly will not mind Gary McFarland's toetappers.

Fassbinder's The Third Generation
Get a load of those frames. Was he a martinet and a libertine? Yes x 2. A big albeit - he was awake and conscious and had great empathy for people who suffered emotional illness. He was the doyen of New German Cinema. Wim Wenders gets a lot more press time, for his decidedly more genteel ways, but Fassbinder if you can get past the spikes, is a big ol' softie, what beautiful movies he doth make, soak up the atmosphere, see the pleasantries past the pain. Love Rainer O'er Me.
Now olly olly oxen Ollie Reed famous for his wonky walkabouts on his way home from the distilleries, stars and shines in this little anomaly.
