CGiii Comment

Fassbinder's last - and, possibly, most divisive film.

What a stylised way to end such an influential career.

Lurid colour, choreographed lighting, enigmatic and voyeuristic stages - he came a very long way - a masterpiece to those who appreciate evolution.

And, sad farewells to some great talents.
