About In a Year with 13 Moons
Elvira Weishaupt, once a burly working-class butcher, has made an enormous sacrifice for love. She has undergone a sex change for a romantic interest who has abandoned her, and she now must struggle to reconcile her past life with her present identity.
Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, In a Year with 13 Moons leans on a strong ensemble — Volker Spengler, Ingrid Caven, Gottfried John — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1978.
