DIE BITTEREN TRÄNEN DER PETRA VON KANT (1972)
dir. Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Petra von Kant is a successful fashion designer: arrogant, caustic, and self-satisfied. Some time ago, she divorced the husband she no longer loved, and, until recently, she has been in a fairly satisfactory S and M relationship with Marlene, her secretary, maid, and co-designer, whom she mistreats frequently. Enter Karin, a 23-year-old beauty who wants to be a model. Petra falls in love with Karin almost instantly, and invites her to move in. As Petra's obsession with the young model grows, things become far more complicated in this tale of intermingled love and hate.
