Fassbinder’s first film in colour is dark indeed – a black comedy of manners, shot in a wintry Munich.
Herr R, a hardworking husband and father, puts up patiently with sniping parents, competitive neighbours, sniggering shop assistants and a patronising boss. Will anything make him snap?
Vividly naturalistic, this brilliantly observed account of everyday frustrations will make you squirm with recognition.
