played at the first time @ Brancaleone Roma Europa Festival-Sensoralia
homage to R.W. Fassbinder through his obscure movie:
The American Soldier (1971)
The main theme of the gangster film The American Soldier is that violence is an expression of frustrated love. The eponymous hit man of the title (actually a German, played by Karl Scheydt) wipes out half the Munich underworld for the corrupt police. American Soldier pays homage to the Hollywood gangster genre, it also alludes to Southern Gothic race narratives like Band of Angels (1957), directed by Raoul Walsh, another Fassbinder influence.
Il soldato americano (Der amerikanische Soldat) (1970)
Release date: Dec 1, 2004
