Follows along the Sirkian themes of dissecting the petit bourgeois.
12/18/05
The film is often compared to Madame Bovary, but the overall effect is closer to that of Von Sternberg's The Devil is a Woman.

A misanthropic fairy tale so lushly designed and photographed it seems to have been conceived in a fever dream.

Top CriticWhen Rainer Werner Fassbinder is good, he is very, very good. And when he is bad, he makes Bolweiser.
10/23/04
Top CriticThe lack of narrative rhythm in the film's present form makes it a grueling experience even for those sympathetic to Fassbinder's enervated view of the world.
