Michael Ballhaus | Through the Shattered Lens

4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

This October, I’m going to be doing something a little bit different with my contribution to 4 (or more) Shots From 4 (or more) Films. I’m going to be taking a little chronological tour of the history of horror cinema, moving from decade to decade.

Today, we take a look at 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993!

Today would have been the 77th birthday of that amazingly prolific Rainer Warner Fassbinder, if not for the fact that Fassbinder, along with being amazing prolific, was also amazing self-destructive. Fassbinder was a director who loved to inspire controversy. Chances are that viewers will either love or hate a Fassbinder film. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground.

In honor of a great contrarian, here are….
