This stunning three-disc boxset finally unites the trio of French New Wave-inspired film noirs in a single release. Each reworking the hard-boiled gangster genre, Fassbinder's films are some of the most interesting and intriguing of the New German Cinema movement. The loose trilogy of LOVE IS COLDER THAN DEATH, GODS OF THE PLAGUE and THE AMERICAN SOLDIER, each shot in black and white, represent an iconoclastic artist's journey though narrative and form.
