Fassbinder: Film Maker
Hayman, Ronald. Simon and Schuster, 1984. Softbound. Design by Kevin Shenton. Cover design by Jackie Seow. At age 37, Fassbinder was found dead of an overdose by film editor and girlfriend Juliane Lorenz, who despite being banned from entering his room uninvited, became concerned by a lack of snoring and opened the door to the sight of his lifeless body with a cigarette still between his lips. In this captivating biography's opening chapter, titled 'No Childhood at All', Hayman details the tragic upbringing of the notoriously brutal director, who is quoted as saying, 'I really grew up like a little flower.'
