One of my 10 favorite movies of all times, 15 October 2001
10/10
Author: Lev Belov (levb) from Parism France

I'd be hard pressed to say what is it that makes this film so important to me. While a very good movie, this is definitely not the most outstanding Fassbinder's film. Still along with the American Soldier it keeps making it into my personal list of favorites whenever I get to thinking about it.
