SYNOPSIS
Although rarely seen since its premiere on German television in 1975, Fear of Fear is a powerful, vividly-designed psychological drama about a housewife fighting her inexorable descent into madness. Margit Carstensen, one of Fassbinder's greatest divas, gives a spellbinding performance in the lead. In fact, every aspect of the film is inspired, and it deserves a prominent place in Fassbinder's filmography.
Fear of Fear focuses on Margot Staudte (Margit Carstensen), a middle-class housewife who lives comfortably with her hard-working, pleasant husband Kurt (Ulrich Faulhaber) and young daughter Bibi (Constanze Haas). Nearby in another apartment are her scalding mother (Brigitte Mira), snooping sister Lore (Irm Hermann) and her husband Karli (Armin Meier), who has a crush on Margot. During her second pregnancy, Margot begins to experience uncontrollable anxiety which becomes so devastating that she fears insanity. To make matters worse, when she leaves her cramped apartment she is stalked by a sinister neighbor, Mr. Bauer (Kurt Raab). For relief she desperately turns to cognac and Valium, and soon begins exchanging sex for extra drugs from Dr. Merck (Adrian Hoven), an exploitative pharmacist. But nothing helps, and it becomes impossible to hide her condition from her family's prying eyes. Margot's mother and sister scorn her, while her patient husband, in a last desperate effort, commits her to a mental hospital, which begins the film's final section.
