Reviews for Veronika Voss
A chilly, tough, wicked satire disguised as the sort of schmaltzy, black-and-white, 1950's melodrama.
This was the last film that Rainer Werner Fassbinder completed before his suicide.
Fassbinder's work here is muddy at best. His black and white cinematography limits his typically washed-out color palette while failing to connect us emotionally with the bygone era.
The situation soon freezes into an inert, rather facile metaphor for America's postwar domination of the German soul.
