Chinesisches Roulette (1977)

豆知識

• 撮影地：Stöckach (Bundorf)

Chinese Roulette is a 1976 West German film written and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. It stars Margit Carstensen, Ulli Lommel, and Anna Karina. The film, a bleak psychological drama, climaxes with a truth-guessing game, which gives the film its title. The plot follows a bourgeois married couple whose infidelities are exposed by their disabled child.

Production

Chinese Roulette was Fassbinder's first international co-production, and his most expensive film up to that point. It was produced by Michael Fengler's Albatros Production, Les Films du Losange and Tango Films. It was shot during seven weeks between April and June 1976.

The cast is centred around actors from Fassbinder's regular troupe: Margit Carstensen, Brigitte Mira, Volker Spengler and Ulli Lommel. Because it was a French co-production Fassbinder used two French stars: Anna Karina and Macha Méril, both of whom had earlier appeared in the films of Jean-Luc Godard. Fassbinder added another German actor, Alexander Allerson.
