CGiii Comment
Legendary film from super-indy filmmaker Lambert, one time most-featured Berlinale director, about the forms of racism in Berlin's vibrant lifestyle at the time of the film's making.
A West-Berlin stationed African-American GI retires from the US Army to live with his (white) girlfriend, who has a baby with another Black man. After a row with her family she deserts him as well. Despite him finding a job and a new place to live, he keeps running into racism, that also manifests itself in sexual intimidation.
Ein in West-Berlin stationierter afroamerikanischer Soldat erlebt immer wieder alltäglichen Rassismus, der sich auch in sexuellen Zudringlichkeiten äußert. Mit Cameos von Ingrid Caven, Peter Chatel, RW Fassbinder, Günter Kaufmann, Tally Brown, Dietmar Kracht, Evelyn Künneke.
