StudioCanal are preparing a Blu-ray release of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's
In a Year of 13 Moons (1978), starring Volker Spengler, Ingrid Caven, Gottfried John, Elisabeth Trissenaar, and Eva Mattes. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 24.
Descirpion: Made in response to the suicide of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's lover Armin Meier,
In a Year of 13 Moon sis a story of unrequited love, a tortured past and a heart-wrenching search for acceptance.
The film traces the final days in the life of Elvira (Volker Spengler), a transgender woman spurned by her former lover, as she reaches out desperately for understanding. Fassbinder crafts both a searing statement on the universal need for love and an elegant exploration of grief in what is arguably his most personal film.
