Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertIt has a wicked sense of humor, displayed in Fassbinder's two favorite opposites, understatement and hyperbole.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by Dave KehrThe meanings are banal and the pace is heavy, but Fassbinder's use of color -- as throughout his late period -- is superb.
Washington Post - 4/10 by Gary ArnoldFassbinder repeatedly depicts the song comforting lonely soldiers and then accompanying scenes of carnage. The devastating effect boomerangs.
Boston Globe - 4/10 by Bruce McCabeFassbinder's energy and imagination, in tandem creating strong, visceral images, justify and vindicate his excesses. He is, simply, one of very few directors in the world today who seems to be pouring everything he has into his medium.
The Gate - 4/10 by Andrew ParkerOne of Fassbinder's most dazzling efforts.
User Review - 10/10 by Astrid LJust got it on DVD... Lost my heart to it - again... It is social realism at its finest, set up in an almost hitchcock-like suspense theme with the impossible lovestory hanging over it. Get on dvd, take your time and let it slowly grow on you and you are in for a piece of epic directing and acting... ENJOY!!!
User Review - 10/10 by 'Nir 'Fassbinder was one of the first post war German film makers to have the balls to do a nazi era film after the war (and it wasn't until '81) and it's a hell of a film.
User Review - 10/10 by Benoît RI don't understand why this Movie have this low Percent i think its a good Movie it reminds me of the German Counterpart to Sergio Leones America Triology it shows realistic that there was to Nazi Germanys the one who was a brutal unhuman System and the other that People just do whats the best for their she just sing a Song and the Swiss Jews were a funny bunch in particular Gottfried John when she shot the Nazi Officers at the Bridge "I hate Business like that" it was one of the most ironic Fassbinder Movies and so it must viewed a great Scene is also one of the last Scenes in the Movie when the Soldiers at the Eastern Front hear the Song and say "That must some of our Men" but that was Russians who hear the same Song it was together very funny and symbolical that the Soldiers where all the Same but on different Sides
User Review - 10/10 by Jochen WWer nichts vom Kitsch versteht, der versteht auch nichts vom Nationalsozialismus. Im Grunde die bessere Version von Oskar Roehlers JUD S�SS, und überhaupt einer der klügsten und profundesten Filme zum Dritten Reich.
User Review - 10/10 by Private Uvery hard to find in NTSC format. i have a burned englished dubb ed copy that sucks ass but at least you get to see the picture and the plot.
