What is new for a Fassbinder work is that the film is far more entertaining to watch than it is interesting to speculate about. That means it's a disappointment.

Reviews for Lili Marleen
Though Fassbinder's camerawork is excellent, including some allusions to the famous German studio UFA, his themes are never really developed.
The meanings are banal and the pace is heavy, but Fassbinder's use of color -- as throughout his late period -- is superb.
It has a wicked sense of humor, displayed in Fassbinder's two favorite opposites, understatement and hyperbole.
