Rating: 3/5 --
An intentional air of theatrical experimentation - almost as if Fassbinder is playing on the excesses of the representations to make clear the prejudices in German society.

Patrick Nabarro
This 1974 film stands as one of Fassbinder's sturdiest achievements, posed between the low-budget funkiness of his early features and the mannerism of his late period.

Rating: 5/5 --
It even manages something like a happy ending without sugar-coating the still poignantly relevant themes.Timely and heartbreaking, some 43 years after its debut.

Rating: 5/5 --
The performances of Brigitte Mira and El Hedi Ben Salem as Emmi and Ali are superb; they act with instant sympathy and charm and in their own way, they are the most purely lovable characters I have ever seen on a movie screen.

Guardian
A conventional but humane story. Director Rainer Werner Fassbinder achieves this with eloquent sobriety, far from melodrama. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
It's a film nearly devoid of emotional artifice no matter its dramatic trappings.

The Gate
...Driven by [Fassbinder's] usual fervor and honesty. There's a sense that he was working fast, through a compellingly personal inspiration, and that gives the film a rare vitality...

Product Description:
A deceivingly simple film about the uncomfortable romantic relationship between a 60-year-old German cleaning woman named Emmi and a 40-year-old Moroccan immigrant named Ali, ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL is one of director R.W. Fassbinder's most powerful pictures. Brought together by a jeering barmaid, Emmi and Ali are surprised to find that, after their initial meeting, they like one another. After a somewhat awkward courtship, the two unlikely lovers marry, angering Emmi's children and revealing the startling prejudices that pervade everyday German life.
