In A Year Of 13 Moons Blu-Ray

IN A YEAR OF 13 MOONS was made as a reaction to Rainer Werner Fassbinder's lover Armin Meier's suicide and is a story of unrequited love, a troubled past, and a heartbreaking quest for acceptance.

The film depicts the last days in the life of Elvira (Volker Spengler), a transsexual woman who has been rejected by her former lover, as she desperately searches for understanding. Fassbinder creates both a searing statement about the universal need for love and an elegant exploration of grief in what is undoubtedly his most personal film.
