CGiii Comment

A strangely funny opening scene, followed by the worst title sequence ever.

This has been hailed as another Fassbinder masterpiece - a word used far too liberally for this director.

Convoluted, contrived and clinically choreographed.

The(ir) Blurb...

This movie follows the life of a young German woman, married to a soldier in the waning days of WWII. Fassbinder has tried to show the gritty life after the end of WWII and the turmoil of the people trapped in its wake.
