Reeling from the suicide of this ex-lover Armin Meier, Fassbinder poured his energies into one of his most remarkably personal films, "In a Year of Thirteen Moons". Volker Spengler gives an extraordinary performance as the transgendered Elvira, a man who has become a woman in a desperate bid to please a former lover (Gottfried John). Relaying various episodes from Elvira’s life, Fassbinder’s film is an intense and powerful exploration of loss and compassion that numbers among his very finest achievements.
