The bizarre German art horror masterwork you’ve always wanted but didn’t know existed, screening in Los Angeles for the first time ever in 35mm! A moody, slow-burn descent into depravity, Der Fan follows a disaffected teen and her escalating, all-consuming obsession with a pop singer (Bodo Steiger, vocalist for German new wave band Rheingold, who provide the score). As her fixation intensifies into madness, the nightmare propels towards its shocking and controversial conclusion.
“One of the most chilling portrayals of psychotic teenage obsession ever committed to film” – Celluloid Scream Festival
“If the cool, austere style of Goodnight Mommy got you excited about arty Euro exploitation, then this is a mandatory watch.” – Vice
