(Translation: Fontane Effi Briest or Many who have a notion of their potential and needs, and who nevertheless in their heads accept the ruling system and thereby consolidate and downright confirm it.) -

Great b/w cinematography, elliptic storytelling. I can imagine it's rather hard to follow it if you haven't read Fontane's novel. 9 years 11 months ago -

Truly remarkable for the 70s, ahead of its time... but is what Fassbinder always brings to the table with his magnificent films! 10 years 9 months ago
