Written over a short period \"in the spirit\" of RWF, who would often get films made in a matter of weeks or months, \u003ci\u003eThousands of Mirrors\u003c\/i\u003e presents the filmmaker as Penman's equivalent of what Baudelaire was to Benjamin: an urban poet in the turbulent, seeds-sown, messy era just before everything changed. Beautifully written and extraordinarily compelling, echoing the fragmentary works of Roland Barthes and Emil Cioran, Eduardo Galeano and Alexander Kluge, this story has everything: sex, drugs, art, the city, cinema, and revolution.","brand":"Semiotext(e)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53632176193902,"sku":"9781635901887","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_13c86c58-e8b4-4dd1-b6e4-854c7c3c7fbc.jpg?v=1776305718","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/fassbinder-thousands-of-mirrors","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
