I've now seen all but epilogue...

Not much can be added in praise.

The camera work is so enjoyable and luxuriously inventive. Fassbinder and his technical associates and actors overwhelm my earlier comment about production values with a collective genius that stands with the very best, as you say.

The scene with Reinhold and Mieze in the forest is a magical dance of horror that is as compelling as anything I've ever seen. It is at once exquisite and repulsive. Astonishing at times! It's complexity of filmmaking and the simultaneous development of suspense and certainty is worthy of study in its own right. Just an incredible, emotional twisting of beauty.

In scope and impact it reminds me of Glauber Rocha's work. A visceral concentration of humanity that is recognizable, unapproachable; yet we become a part of it. Life as film.
