Some of her most impressive performances in Fassbinder films can be seen (again) on Amazon Prime, for example, MARTHA (1974),, the less well-known FEAR OF FEAR (1975),, and THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT (1972).

A wide range of streaming services has meant that many offerings have been shifted to the home sphere. And yet not all cultural life has come to a standstill. Above all for smaller venues and institutions, this enforced break is proving an existential threat. For the time being, cinemas, like museums and theaters, have to remain closed.
