This 1975 film by Fassbinder was considered a classic movie in the late 1970's. There were very few gay themed films that delved into the relationships of Gay people.
The Director Fassbinder tells a rather daring story of the rise & fall of a relationship of 2 men from different social classes.He even takes the lead role & does well with it.
When I first saw this I was very impressed & saw many of his other great films.
Today however,I was not that impressed these stories now are almost common place.I did not feel any of the emotions that I felt back some 30 years ago, even at the tragic ending.
It was like watching a soap opera.
Non-the-less FOX AND HIS FRIENDS is still interesting & well acted & made. My original rating has gone down though
Ratings:*** out of 4 82 points out of 100 IMDb 7 out of 10
