Fox is a victim of the capitalist society that so suddenly made him rich, deceived by “friendships” he doesn’t even realize he’s paying for. There’s an especially poignant scene in which his lover shows him the expensively furnished apartment he’s decorated for “them.”
The lives of Fox's friends from both sides get tangled together as they all watch Fox sink lower and lower and do nothing to help him. Fox and His Friends is a good enough title for this film, but the original title Faustrecht der Freiheit (Fist Fight of Freedom in English) is much more telling.
Fox and His Friends. Drama. 123 minutes ‧ 1979. Roger Ebert. January 1, 1979. 3 min read. At the delicate art of combining the bizarre and the mundane, nobody is more skillful than Rainer Werner Fassbinder. His formula is wickedly simple. He begins, often enough, with elements of lurid sexuality.
Fox And His Friends Reviewed by: Jeff Robson "The quality of the writing, editing, cinematography and everything else is top-notch, but it’s undoubtedly a bleak, hard watch."
