Presented in five parts, this newly restored series of Fassbinder made-for-television films presents an intertwined panorama of German working couples.
Aliza Ma of Film Comment calls it. “A thrilling new peak in Fassbinder’s towering career… A brilliantly layered chamber drama about an eccentric family and their economic and cultural environment, which functions as both trenchant social critique and populist entertainment. The series depicts a tender family portrait – if always lined with Fassbinder’s characteristic sardonic humor – revealing a rare softer, subtler side to the auteur.”
