May 23, 2021 · Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Rating. n/a. Running Time. 86 minutes. Overall Score. Rating Summary. Chinese Roulette is the kind of film that may not be easy to sit through, but it will leave viewers with a lot to ponder. Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s cinema can seem forbiddingly intellectual and unusually cold.
Summaries. Both parents of a young teen who walks with crutches secretly meet their lovers, who both surprise each other at the family's country home. The daughter arrives and initiates a guessing game of "Chinese roulette." Married Gerhard and Ariane Christ and their teenage daughter Angela Christ are an upper class family living in Munich.
Chinese Roulette is a film fraught with cruelty and downright evil, lurking beneath sinister grins and betrayed by disconcerting laughs, waiting to be inflicted on everyone. Revolving around a married couple who are both having affairs, it's also a film of fraudulence and dishonesty.
