SYNOPSIS - FOX AND HIS FRIENDS

A working-class gay guy wins the
lottery in this tragic gay film from R.W.
Fassbinder.

REVIEW

Fassbinder's first specifically male
gay-themed film is a richly textured and
powerful drama of the relationship
between two gay men of vastly
different social backgrounds. A
lower-class carnival entertainer, Fox
(played by Fassbinder), finds himself
suddenly flush after winning
500,000DM in a lottery. He soon
becomes involved in an ill-fated
romance with gold-digging Eugen, a
rich, manipulative young man. The
eternal class struggle and the
continued exploitation of the poor and
working class is tragically played out
as the unwitting Fox is swindled out of
his money and self-respect by his
bourgeois lover and his family.
