Beware of a Holy Whore (3 Stars)

I have no idea what the title of the film has to do with the story. A film crew and cast are staying in a Spanish hotel, waiting to begin making the film "Patria o Muerte". The filming is delayed by the late arrival of the director, missing film material and in particular problems with the financing. During this time they get drunk, make love and get into fights.

The director struts about as an arrogant, drunken, woman-hater. I wonder to what extent Fassbinder was creating a caricature of himself.
