Original Title
Angst vor der Angst- Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder
- Writer: Asta Scheib; Rainer Werner Fassbinder
- Producer: Peter Marthesheimer
CGiii Comment
As depressing as depression can be...another of Fassbinder's portraits...he really did not like women.
It's a 70s TV film - cheap with the typical less-is-more ethos...an ethos that Fassbinder choked to death.

The(ir) Blurb...
Margot, who lives in a comfortable middle class apartment, fears that she is losing her mind after having had her second child. Her husband Kurt, who is busy studying for an exam, does not understand her situation. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Lore are openly hostile to her. She resorts to valium and drink, and looks for sympathy, but to no avail.
