A brilliant satire of emotional politics.
You can feel the world closing in, which, I would venture, is exactly how Fassbinder wanted you to feel.
It's good to see a gay relationship treated no differently than a heterosexual one would be.
The film does not offer an optimistic view of relationships.
Very French and at times threatens to dissolve into a steamy sex farce.
Mild as satire and completely unconvincing as tragicomedy.
The static, claustrophobic movie is very much a filmed play.
