Janis Joplin - Me and Bobby McGee

In the course of his personal development, Fassbinder repeatedly broke with people who had become dependent of him - and on whose dependency he himself had become dependent! This must often have seemed unjust and brutal. And he knew only too well that independence alone does not make for happiness. It was no accident that one of his favourite songs was Janis Joplin’s version of ‘Me and Bobby McGee’ with the bittersweet refrain ‘Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose’. He used it in both Berlin Alexanderplatz and Theatre in a Trance. The song was played over Fassbinder’s coffin; if his higly complicated and contradictory life could be summed up in a single sentence, this one would be fairly accurate.

Fassbinder in one of the most fascinating directors there are (you can see his work, he’s dead).  To see his work is to be washed in the art of filmmaking.
