La Maison Fassbinder

Patrick Straumann's commentary "La Maison Fassbinder" is a scientific text and strongly based on French film semiotics as initiated by Christian Metz and thus indebted to structuralism in the tradition of De Saussure until Barthes and Levi-Strauss, searching in literature as well as in film recurrent topics, structural parallels, symmetries, Syntagmatic connections as well as paradigmatic variations.
