Reviews
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
While coy at times, this is some of the more interesting and sustained Fassbinder interview footage I have seen. Fassbinder reflects on the various stages of his career, discusses how his motives behind filmmaking evolved up to this point, and discusses a potential new phase in his career, as represented by his then-current project, _Despair._ This doc also features clips from a few Fassbinder films, especially _Beware of a Holy Whore_, and gives us some behind-the-scenes glimpses at the shooting of _Despair_. Overall, essential viewing for fans, with a lot of insight into what Fassbinder accomplished, and what could have been had he lived on.For those who are interested in seeing this doc, you should know that it is available as a bonus feature on the _Bitter Tears..._ DVD.
