Review of Fear of Fear

After seeing this film, I was wondering why Fassbinder has included the character played by Kurt Raab. Now I know, in Fassbinders film "Warum läuft Herr R. Amok?" shooted 5 years prior to "Angst vor der Angst", Kurt Raab played a character in a similar situation as Margit. But he was reacting different to his inability to match the expectations of society, he ran amok and after killing his family, he did hang himself up. In the last scene of "Angst vor der Angst", Margit sees through her window how his coffin is pulled in the hearse. He was living just next door to Margits house, so I guess Fassbinder wanted to show how different people (man/woman) can react to the same situation. This is another great film of Fassbinder, don't miss it !!
