Fassbinder and Neon.
Debbie Neon (Petra Jokisch) had a brief career as a German disco queen before settling into minor roles in films like Wolf Gremm’s stylish mess Kamikaze 1989, which stars Rainer Werner Fassbinder as a hard-living alcoholic cop perpetually clad in an ultra-groovy, sweat-stained, leopard-print suit. A new-wavish noir, Kamikaze 1989 will never be mistaken for a good movie but it does feature Ms. Neon and provided me with a hook to lure you into listening to her 1979 cover of Talking Head’s “Psycho Killer,” which as covers go ain’t all that bad.
