A masterpiece., 12 June 2002
10/10
Author: Lars Gorzelak Pedersen from Aarhus, Denmark

Fassbinder at the peak of his creative powers. Die dritte Generation is as funny as it is scary, and is just as relevant today as it was when it was first released almost 25 years ago. Aesthetically as well as thematically, this is one of the director's most fascinating - along with Die Händler der vier Jahreszeiten (1974).
