I guess she was named in Cinemania, huh.

Report on one-day screening of BA in Berlin:

When the lights went up in Berlin's Volksbühne Theater at 3:20 a.m. on Monday morning, there were a lot of tired faces and not a few people sprawled in the aisles. No wonder -- the dedicated filmgoers had been there since 10 a.m. the previous morning...

Juliana Lorenz, president of the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation and initiator of the re-mastering, told SPIEGEL ONLINE in an interview that Fassbinder had long been held responsible for technical problems that were not his fault. "The technology in the television studios just wasn't adequate at the time," she says. In addition, she points out that most people in Germany at that time still had black and white television sets, which meant the color movie looked too dark on the small screen: "Of course they couldn't tell what was happening."
