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

Blooper
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.

Citazioni
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.

Well worth seeing -- don't read the other posters spoilers

What can I say -- watch the film. And don't read the other posters comments -- he didn't like the film, or even bother finishing it but felt compelled to make a list of pointless spoilers in his useless comments.

This was Fassbinders shot at 'commercialism', which he failed at entirely (thankfully) but we are left with a thoughtful examination of the boundaries between self awareness and delusion. A metaphor for post war Germany? Who am I to be so pretentious ...

Strong performances, provocative script, not a light romp but neither is it a heavy slog.
