In 1970, while filming Whity, the Anti-Theater group - Fassbinder's initial attempt at cooperative filmmaking - completely fell apart. Beware Of A Holy Whore was the result - an autobiographical meditation on Fassbinder's own experiences with the Anti-Theater group, the process of filmmaking, and the seductive, paradoxical nature of cinema itself. The film centers on a film crew whiling away its time in a seaside luxury hotel. They exist in limbo - sitting in the lobby, bickering, listening to Leonard Cohen and Elvis Presley on the jukebox, insulting the waiters, screwing each other in every possible way. They even dabble in politics, but this eventually gets no further than ordering one Cuba Libre after another.
