For fans of Werner Stocker (Darius, Highlander series), A Man Like Eva is a must see. Although the movie is in German with English subtitles, it is worth the effort to watch it. The movie, which is about the German director Fassbinder, is not a movie to be viewed with children present or by adults who can't handle the content. It contains sexual situations (both male/male and male/female) and full frontal male nudity. Fassbinder, through the course of filming a modernized version of Ibsen's 'A Doll's House,' becomes obsessed with both his stars. He marries his leading lady, played by Lisa Kreuzer, while carrying on with Walter (Stocker). An affair between Walter and the wife further complicates the triangle. The role of Fassbinder was played by a woman, Eva Mattes. Werner Stocker's performance is brilliant and shows the full range of the acting abilities he possessed long before he joined the cast of Highlander. This movie is yet another reminder of the great talent the world lost when Stocker died.
