Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Rainer Werner Fassbinder (May 31, 1945 - June 10, 1982), German movie director and actor, was one of the most important representatives of the New German Cinema.

He was born in the Bavarian town of Bad Wörishofen. He died of a drug overdose; his death is often considered to mark the end of New German Cinema.
