Starring Ingrid Caven, Klaus Lowitsch
Shadow of Angels, based on a play by Fassbinder, is spectacularly lurid. A prostitute, too beautiful to be successful (Caven), begins to talk to her clients instead of offering sex and becomes in instant hit even as the process destroys her spirit. It's occasionally funny as melodrama, but many will blanch. Rating: B
