Pink Palace presents this gritty look at the seduction of a working class gay man by the bourgeois materialistic middle classes of 1970’s West Germany.
Fox and His Friends is among the director’s most personal works and the first to tackle homosexuality in a direct manner. Fassbinder himself plays Fox, a sweet but naive working class man and former circus performer whose new relationship with wealthy industrialist Eugen, he discovers, is based wholly on his unexpected lottery win. When the money runs out, so does any affection, with tragic consequences.
