This actually may be the most accessible and the most commercial thing about Rainer Werner Fassbinder. I would like to believe that even people who are not into him, would find something here they might like ... having said that, the movie is a biopic that feels like a stage play most of the time ... and it also has nudity and a lot of other things (gay love for example) that some may have issues with.
It is not for the faint hearted for sure or those who are easily offended. Do not watch this if you are in one of these groups. Watch if you are curious what drove a man that seems missunderstood a lot. Or at least that is how he feels. They are things here that defy any political correctness - use of the n word and much more. Now it is just giving you what it was like and what people said and did ... you are the one who will be the judge - what you make of these things.
Very good acting involved and at least for me a new perspective on an individual I did not have before (not sure how fans of his might react to certain things)
