CloseThe Bitter Tears of Petra von KantNC
Rainer Werner Fassbinder
124 mins – West Germany 1972 – Subtitles
Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Starring: Margit Carstensen, Hanna Schygulla and Katrin Schaake
Petra von Kant, with two marriages behind her and an absent daughter, is a successful fashion designer. She lives with her secretary, the repressed and subservient Marlene, who will form the second point in a tragic ménage à trois when Petra meets and falls hopelessly in love with a confident young model named Karin.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder
The New German Cinema movement, a period which lasted from the sixties until the eighties, saw filmmakers such as Werner Herzog, Margarethe von Trotta, Wim Wenders and Helma Sanders-Brahms rise to prominence both in West Germany and internationally. One of the key directors of this movement was, without a doubt, Rainer Werner Fassbinder. He helmed over 40 feature films and a 13 hour television series before his tragic death at the age of 37. Triskel Arts Centre presents a small sample of this incredible artist’s work with a selection of four of his films. See info »

A brilliantly directed and performed psychodrama. 
Triskel Arts Centre is proud to announce its association with The F-Rating initiative. Developed in the Bath Film Festival in 2014, the F-Rating is a new film rating which will highlight those with a strong female voice.
