In German. 104 minute running time so around the right length. I loved this movie, it was fall-down funny, and it’s mainly because the star, Vitus Zeplichal, is so good. It’s hard to overestimate how much Fassbinder loathes German culture, he’s just scathing… but in a funny, loving way, if you know what I mean. I think I finally understand Fassbinder. Ali: Fear Eats the Soul was a lot less entertaining than this movie. I thank John Farr for this excellent recommendation and I second it. Green-go!
