Fassbinder's magnum opus, "Berlin Alexanderplatz:"

Posted by tinear on December 18, 2007 at 08:49:15:
it's now at Netflix, just having been released on DVD.
It's a sprawling account of pre-Hitler low-class existence in 'tween wars Berlin.
Franz Biberkopf is released from prison where he served four years for the death of his girlfriend whom he beat to death with his fists. Is he a homocidal maniac? A regular guy that didn't realize the strength of his own powerful arms? Did he just lose it and does he truly pose no threat to society, now?
This slovenly creature, if you see all the episodes (and it is a 16-hr. film), will become more known and more unforgettable to you than any other film creation.
Franz... lives.
You also will understand Germany and its people more than any history book possibly could enlighten.
It justifiably is considered by many as one of the greatest films.
It is very, very disturbing in its merciless expose of humanity.
See the first disc and see if you can resist viewing them all.
