A very good movie

12 years, 12 months ago at Jul 31 12:50
I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again.

"The first time I have seen Fassbinder the poet. His mise-en-scene is some of the most thought-out, brutally honest and beautiful I have seen in film. The shifting dynamics between the characters and their relation to the rest of the world are fascinating, but holy shit did the look of damn near every single frame here blow me away. "
