On a film set there are two things missing, the film material and the director. So the actors and actresses as well as the crew try to make the best out of the situation. When the director arrives the material is still missing and so they still wait and try to make the best out of the situation. When the material finally arrives all folks involved into the film find themselves in a weird situation. Jealousy, competition and despair are ruling. Nobody seems to be able to break through this atmosphere, so they all still try to make the best out of the situation, but this is probably not the way to finish the film. - Written by Oliver Heidelbach

Notes
"Beware of a Holy Whore" is a "knowing satire" of filmaking - cast, crew, directors, and producers -- that is, Fassbinder knows of what he makes -- If this film even romotelyl represents generic moving-making, then it is as wonder that any film is ever made -- the cast are mostly stoned and obsessed with sex, the director is a tyrant (said to be a characterization of Fassbinder himself) -- We are spun through an array of sexual relationships, gay, straight, bi -- While this film is a funny and biting satire of his profession, I came away not sure how it was speaking to me -- see Jim Clark's review in the Links section of the page.
