Title: Very slow and very strange
Product review: This movie is based on a homoerotic novel and so might not be suitable for general audiences. But even the most open-minded viewer will find this movie very slow and very difficult to watch. The homosexual iconography and imagery is over the top and a bit off-putting. The film was shot on a sparse set and the violence in the movie has such stylised choreography that the combined effect is very artificial. This film is a bit self-indulgent on Fassbinder's part. If you are interested in exploring the work of Fassbinder start anywhere else but here.
