Fassbinder’s penultimate cinema film and the final and most gloomy part of a trilogy about the fates of some women in post-war Germany (following "Die Ehe der Maria Braun" and "Lola"). Veronika Voss is an aging Ufa star attempting a comeback in Adenauer Germany. Sports reporter Robert Krohn meets her by coincidence and develops an interest in her bizarre life, owing equally to his professional background and the compassion he feels for her: the has-been star now lives in a doctor’s office, where the woman doctor keeps her addicted to morphine. "Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss" resonates with Fassbinder’s love for the film noir of the ‘40s as well as echoes of German problem films of the ‘50s, not the least through cinematographer Xaver Schwarzenberger’s expressive black and white photography.
