Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1974). This moving romance between an aging floor washer and an inarticulate Arab mechanic is a perverse comedy and biting drama of racial prejudice. Awarded the International Critics Prize at Cannes and described by critic Archer Winston as “the surprise of the century.”
