Dear Lazyweb,

I finished the movie Querelle last night. The narrator's voice is very familiar but he doesn't seem to be listed in the credits. Anyone know who it was? I'm looking at you, moroccomole.

I thought Fassbinder did it himself.

I checked his whole filmography and don't see anything else that looks familiar. This voice, I've heard it many times.

There are two narrators. Fassbinder was one, and Franco Nero the other.

Huh, I guess I'm hearing Fassbinder. Don't know why he sounds so familiar though.

What voice of his are you comparing him to? He also narrated Berlin Alexanderplatz - though I can understand if you've not seen that 15.5 hour movie.

When I was watching the movie and hearing the main narration, it sounded like one of those voiceover people that you hear all over the place, making it harder to think of a specific place you've heard it. I dunno.

He does sound like the guy who does a lot of Nova voice-over work.

Shockingly, I've never seen it. We all have our lapses.

I did just add it to my Netflix queue, however.

Oh believe me, I get made fun of for my lapses all the time.

What the HELL.

???

Oh, got it.

I picked Fox and His Friends as my Fassbinder title, but with a suggestion that his entire filmography is worth checking out. Doesn't mean I've actually SEEN his entire oeuvre, however.

Ha HA! Too late, sucker!

My little divey gay bar shows it from time to time, so I made a point to get a copy... I have yet to watch it while not in a bar, but I do love the scene where the guy spits on his cock and starts fuckin. HOT!
