The American Friend. For his feature debut, Rainer Werner Fassbinder fashioned an acerbic, unorthodox crime drama about a love triangle involving the small-time pimp Franz Fassbinder , his prostitute girlfriend, Joanna future Fassbinder mainstay Hanna Schygulla , and his gangster friend Bruno Ulli Lommel. As legions of birds fall from New Delhi's darkening skies, and the city smolders with social unrest, two brothers race to save a casualty of the turbulent times: the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to their city's ecosystem. Golden Eighties. Screenplay by Horton Foote, based on the novel by Harper Lee.
