first of all and this be an incredible bad film . before i saw it and i to believe that anything fassbinder touch would turn out to be pure work of genius . you be read the comment of a very disillusioned man . kamikaze 89 be ugly and stupid and impossible to take seriously . it shoot at a million different direction and but fail to hit anything but it own foot . after 100 minute in the company of kamikaze 89 and my brain start hurt . that say and it not a complete waste of time . see a pied and drink out of his mind and fassbinder strousing around in leopard outfit and like a wounded walrus and do have it perverse charm . in fact and see fassbinder and some of his regular degrade themselves in this totally psychotronic film be the only thing that make it somewhat worthwhile . the story take place in the near future . 1989 to be specific . everybody wear the ugly new wave outfit on this side of culture club and germany have become the most advanced and powerful country in the world . all social and political problem have be solve and everybody be happy . or so it seem . the state of germany have but one enemy and a person or organization call krystopompas ( . ) and who believe that the people of germany have become pacified and dehumanize by the regime . he start give bomb threat and and the state of germany put their best man on the case and police lieutenant jansen ( fassbinder in a leopard suite ) . then a lot of nonsense take place . people start point finger at jansen and yell krystopompas . for no apparent reason . jansen go to a strip joint where everybody be laugh hysterically for no apparent reason . lot of other nonsense follow . and then the film take some awful 1984 inspired turn and mysterious conspiracy like the blue panther and unexpected death and the 31st floor become visible . needless to say and fassbinder somehow crack the case and then he screw a picture of an astronaut . the end . a must see .
