Fear of Fear is a 1975 West German drama film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder starring Margit Carstensen. Fear of Fear is the fifth film by R. W. Fassbinder for the WDR in cooperation with editor Peter Märthesheimer.

Background

FEAR OF FEAR isn't really about mental illness, it's a film about the 'normal' human condition. Mental illness is an essential part of a society like the one we live in. I only show the life of a completely normal person, not an extreme situation. (...) The film shows how someone who tries to lead a life that is alien to himself, alienated from the true self, is inevitably shattered. The life this woman has to lead is not her life.

The original script for the film was written by Asta Scheib in the form of the story "Langsame Tage" and sent to R. W. Fassbinder, whose films she admired. Asta Scheib was 35 years old at the time, a housewife and mother of two children. Until then, she had occasionally written articles for a local newspaper and a women's magazine. The story was her first film template. Fassbinder used it almost unchanged for his script.
