Lili Marleen
An extravagant story of love, war and propaganda in the shadows of Nazi Germany, Fassbinder's "Lili Marleen" is, ironically, one of his few English language films. Willie (Hanna Schygulla) is a cabaret singer whose recording of the title song becomes a hit with the German troops and the war effort, but her love for a musician puts both their lives in danger. For this film, Fassbinder acknowledged to being heavily influenced by Josef Von Sternberg's "The Blue Angel".
