Introduction
Set in the American South of the 1870s, this idiosyncratic western was shot in Spain.
Whity (Kaufmann), the Nicholson family’s black butler, revels in servility yet exercises a strange erotic power over those around him.
Fassbinder exposes the all-too-human tendency to collude in one’s own oppression while yearning for freedom. He also appears briefly but memorably as a whip-brandishing cowboy.
