      • I Only Want You to Love Me (German: Ich will doch nur, daß ihr mich liebt) is a 1976 West German television movie written and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and starring Vitus Zeplichal and Elke Aberle.


      Plot


      Peter Trepper (Vitus Zeplichal) is a young man who is serving ten years in prison for committing an impulsive murder. A psychologist (Erika Runge) interviews him to learn his motive and life history. Peter has a loveless childhood in the home of his innkeeper parents (Alexander Allerson and Erni Mangold). Despite his obedience and good works, he fails to win their acceptance. Hastily, Peter marries his girlfriend Erika (Elke Aberle) and relocates to Munich, where he continues his quixotic efforts to gain approval, especially from his new wife. He pressures himself to work long hours while spending money lavishly, leading to constant stress over debts. When Peter loses his job, he finally snaps, striking and strangling a bartender (Janos Gönczöl) who reminds him of his own father.
