Fassbinder's visual style is the perfect match for this subject.
Top CriticA chilly, tough, wicked satire disguised as the sort of schmaltzy, black-and-white, 1950's melodrama.
The situation soon freezes into an inert, rather facile metaphor for America's postwar domination of the German soul.
One of the most stylish of Fassbinder's many films.
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.
