Flash: Barbara Sukowa to Introduce Fassbinder's 'Lola' at IFC Center
Face it: Nothing says New Year's Weekend like a long date with your old friend Fassbinder at IFC Center. As though his ghost wriggled up through the Sixth Avenue sidewalk to lash out at all this year-end acclaim for former contemporary Werner Herzog, Fassbinder's Lola storms the cinema tomorrow with an introduction from star Barbara Sukowa.
Yes, that Barbara Sukowa. Fordham University professor Anne-Katrin Titze will also drop in for a short Q&A with Sukowa, so do not think you are going to be left in the room unsupervised or anything.
Then, Sunday at noon, IFC is screening Fassbinder's entire BRD Trilogy--The Marriage of Maria Braun, Lola and Veronika Voss--for the low, low price of only $20. (Single-screening tickets are available as well, but sources say Fassbinder's coke-and-speed fueled ghost will rampage around your apartment and curse your 2006 in spittle-soaked German.)
IFC Center's Web site has all the scheduling details for this weekend's other Fassbinder screenings. Just remember--Barabara Sukowa. Try to behave, OK?

What? You can't wax smart ass intelectual about Fassbinder just a little bit? I expect more from STV.
