After winning the lottery, a suggestible working-class man falls prey to his bourgeois boyfriend and materialistic friends, testing his values and self-worth.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Fox and His Friends is a bitter, sharply observed gay drama about love, money and class exploitation. Fassbinder’s own performance gives Fox a painful vulnerability, while the film refuses to romanticise the gay social world around him. Bleak but compassionate, it remains one of the director’s most accessible and emotionally direct works.
