Beware of a Holy Whore is Fassbinder's luridly comic expose of moviemaking run amok. Also screening is the Fassbinder's Gods of the Plague, another expertly twisted film noir. Set in a luxurious seaside resort, Beware of a Holy Whore is Fassbinder's luridly comic expose of moviemaking run amok, as actors and technicians verbally and sexually assault one another. (1971; 103 mins.)

Time Out London praised Gods of the Plague, calling it "a witty, stylish mediation on American film noir, filtered through the dark and morbid sensibility of its director." (1970; 91 mins.)
