To celebrate the release of In a Year Of 13 Moons on DVD and Blu-Ray for the very first time in the UK from March 24, we are giving away 2 Blu-Rays!
Made in response to the suicide of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s lover Armin Meier, IN A YEAR OF 13 MOONS is a story of unrequited love, a tortured past and a heart-wrenching search for acceptance.
written and directed by the ground-breaking German director, The film features one of cinema’s first transgender heroines, movingly portrayed by Volker Spengler (Satan’s Brew, Chinese Roulette) in a challenging role that critics have faulted due to Fassbinder’s harsh and uncompromising approach to the character. Joining Spengler in the cast are frequent collaborators Gottfried John (GoldenEye, The Marriage of Maria Braun) and, one-time wife of Fassbinder, Ingrid Caven (Suspiria, The Merchant of Four Seasons).
IN A YEAR OF 13 MOONS traces the final days in the life of Elvira (Spengler), a transgender woman spurned by her former lover, as she reaches out desperately for understanding. Fassbinder crafts both a searing statement on the universal need for love and an elegant exploration of grief in what is arguably his most personal film.
