This documentary brings together a collection of remarkable interview footage with Douglas Sirk filmed in 1982 for the French TV show 'Cinéma cinémas', as well as material from the finished programme.
In his film "Far From Heaven", Todd Haynes refers very respectfully to Douglas Sirk's "All that Heaven Allows". Fassbinder was also strongly influenced by Sirk's work. Haynes now explains this double fascination.
