在法斯賓達所有作品中，《一年十三個月亮》可說是最富個人傳奇色彩的一部，不僅是因為本片的拍攝，出自於法斯賓達為了紀念已分手愛人的自殺，片中對於性別、變性、身份的多重辯證，以及對身體的自卑與自虐、對性慾的耽溺與索求、對愛情的渴望與殘酷，也都反覆呼應了他自己聲名狼藉的複雜生命，八卦之外，有著更多耐人尋味的思索。故事從法蘭克福市的清晨開始，也為主人翁艾維拉最後的生命揭開序幕。曾擁有男性身軀的她，現在是個名叫艾維拉的女子，但身體的改變並不能保證幸福的未來，同居男友的離棄、前妻的拒絕、舊情人的冷漠背叛，不管是男是女、是他或她，似乎都無法獲得任何希望，於是他/她轉身，擁抱溫暖的死亡。《一年十三個月亮》以極為冷冽寫實的影像，仔細鋪排艾維拉的生活細節，從早到晚、從城市的這頭、到屋室的那端，他的絕望像是被排拒在世界之外的漂浮孤島，永遠孑然。法斯賓達在片中營造了強大的現實與孤獨感，彷彿用一把電影的手術刀，冷靜地劃開了劇中人與法斯賓達自己的心，殘酷銳利地切割屠宰著世人所謂的愛情理想，片中一幕屠宰場的場景，艾維拉在冰冷空曠的流理台之中幽怨地自白，平行對映著屠夫切剖肉塊，鮮血淋漓的究竟是肉塊，還是盲目追求愛情的人們？
