I like self-destructive films and this is one of them. Rainer Werner Fassbinder showed here how interesting he was as a creator, both in the field of directing and screenwriting, as well as acting. This is his concert, where he lets criticism of society and individuals shine through. At the same time, he does not use any melodramatic tools. ()
