Love is Colder Than Death

Franz (Fassbinder), a punky pimp who bonds with noted criminal Bruno (Ulli Lommel) thanks to their mutual recruitment by a crime syndicate. Shunning their offer, Franz opts to team with his new contact, whose quiet nature belies a violent back history, including killing his father by smashing a vase over his head. But Franz's hooker girlfriend Joanna (Hanna Schygulla) sees right through Bruno's oddly subdued demeanor and is rightfully frightened (and not just because of his bad thespian skills).
