Love is Colder Than Death

Aroview: The first in a loose trilogy of gangster films directed by prolific German iconoclast Rainer Werner Fassbinder early in his career.

Fassbinder himself plays a small-time pimp who runs into trouble when a mobster invites him to join the local crime syndicate. His first feature length film, and a fine example of his early style, which was influenced by Jean-Luc Godard, and clearly demonstrated his strong background in German theatre.
