yes . fassbinder and ballhaus be at the top of their game and back in 1973. it about the same subject and but in my opinion it a much good movie than the matrix ( 1999 ) and at least it be 200 time cheap . very nice camera work by michael ballhaus and the wonderful albatross by fleetwood mac at the end . fassbinder be create a very moody tone for the whole film . it a shame this movie be never release on dvd . but now after 37 year they finally come to the conclusion and that this tv movie and be not only one of the best fassbinder film ( altough there be quiet a lot best fassbinder film ) and it a brilliant example for a science fiction movie and do without much money . buy it . watch it .
