This movie cost more than all of Director Rainer Werner Fassbinder's previous movies combined.

Though the movie is set in Weimar Germany in the early 1930s, at 1:15:15, Hermann Hermann smokes a filtered cigarette, and those were put on the market in the 1950s.

Lydia: What's that accident all about?
Herman: What accident?
Lydia: In America. Why should it matter to you?
Herman: It doesn't say anything about an accident... it says just to go crash. Collapse!
Lydia: The whole street collapsed?
Herman: Wall Street.
Lydia: Were people killed?
Herman: Just a few. Mostly jumping out of windows. Nearly all of them were stock holders.
Lydia: Oh, Hermann...
Herman: Really, you are such a... such a stupid woman, Lydia. You've lived here for 7 years already and you still can't speak the language properly. Still, I don't mind. Inteligence would take the bloom off your carnality. No, a woman like you should keep moist and plump.

An entertaining enigma of a movie

Dirk Bogarde stars in this 1978 Fassbinder film as Hermann, a chocolate factory owner living in Berlin during the Weimar Republic who suffers from dissociation. He dreams of escape. On his travels he meets a homeless man who he thinks can imitate him in a scam. This will involve his faked murder so that he can escape his life. His wife will then receive a substantial insurance pay out because of his supposed death. In reality Hermann will vanish to Switzerland, live below the radar and start a new life. Will Hermann's plan go without a hitch?

I love the mystery of this film. It really is a puzzle of a film and sweeps us along on it's gorgeous journey. Twist follows turn and back again.

The whole cast are perfect with Dirk Bogarde being perfect as Hermann. The screenplay is brilliantly adopted from a Nabokov novel by Tom Stoppard with snappy and wicked dialogue that positively crackles.

The look of the film is muted and also beautiful because of it. It lends massively to why the film works so well as it's visually and uniformly a treat for the eyes. Enjoy the ride which will keep you guessing until the final frame.
