Satan’s Brew
Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Produced by Trio Film, Albatros Filmproduktion
A darkly comic, intellectually playful portrait of a blocked poet's moral and creative dissolution, mixing absurdist humor with genuine despair.
A famous poet who hasn't written a word in two years unconsciously plagiarizes the work of Stefan George, while dealing with several mistresses, his dimwitted brother, and a murder investigation.
