CONVEYOR BELT BOOKS brings a selection from the wildly prolific German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder to the ESQUIRE on Thursday, March 19th with ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL. About the film: A lonely widow meets a much younger Arab worker in a bar during a rainstorm. They fall in love, to their own surprise—and to the outright shock of their families, colleagues, and drinking buddies. Fassbinder expertly wields the emotional power of classic Hollywood melodrama to expose the racial tensions underlying contemporary German culture.RomancePT1H33M2026-03-19
