In modern society, one would think that there isn't any place for fantasy and superstitions, but the United States is full of people who are convinced that psychics can predict their future, they have ghosts living in their houses, aliens visit the Earth in flying saucers, and even that they can talk to the dead.7 People believe in the supernatural because they want to believe, because it makes them happy, even if those beliefs exist against logic or opposing evidence.8 In Detroit, "ghost-busting is back big time," with "at least five "ghost hunting" clubs" springing up in the met...

For Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the motivation behind creating films, as he did so prolifically between 1966 and 1982 , was essentially political. It was through this medium that he felt most able to contribute to the debate over the ever-changing internal politics of his nation, Germany, and to the universal debate over sexuality and gender roles that was emerging as laws and taboos on these subjects began to be reassessed and liberalised. Never opting for simplicity over controversy, it comes as no surprise, therefore, that Fassbinder should choose to explore the issue of racism in Fear Eats...
