\nFran\u00e7ois Ozon cleverly turns the tables on his idol \u2014 the larger-than-life catalyst of \u201970s New German Cinema, Rainer Werner Fassbinder \u2014 by casting him as the protagonist in his own story.\u00a0 \u201cFreely adapted\u201d from Fassbinder\u2019s 1972 campy melodrama, The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, Peter von Kant takes that agonizing tale of three women trapped in a toxic love triangle and gives it a sex change.\u00a0 Whereas Petra was a tortured fashion designer, posing in ornate gowns and wigs, Peter is another kind of diva \u2014 a volatile, doped-up, boozer of a film director who clearly resembles Fassbinder himself. True to form, the object of Peter\u2019s desire is an exquisite young thing named Amir Ben-Salem. The ever-sublime Hannah Schygulla (the shimmering object of Petra\u2019s lust in the original film) even turns up as Peter\u2019s consoling mother. But for all the film\u2019s self-referential adulation and exuberance, it\u2019s Denis M\u00e9nochet\u2019s fearless, powerhouse performance that pushes it beyond the mere exercise of revealing an artist through his own creation, and breathes life into the ultimately tragic, horrifying, incredibly fragile soul of the artist himself.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
