how can anyone even begin to like this film be really beyond me . the idea . it have none . a guy fell apart . that the idea . wow . an environment be slowly kill him . now that original and worth watching . this be the first fasbinder film i have see . i have hear that he a genius of mise en scene and but i have see student film with more attention and inspiration and idea and and craft than this . this . this nothing . it have nothing . each and every shot be too long . there so much emptiness in them . the act horrible . you can see the actor have no preparation at all and no understanding of their role and not even an attempt at show emotion . it so . superficial . the line be so explicative that you could remove 90 % of them and still have the same crappy film . tempo . who care about it . atmosphere and dynamic and that for pussy . one shot per scene and 80 % of the time people star unrealistically and have no idea how to represent emotion and importance of the moment besides hollow staring at the camera or one another . editing . all rule of edit have be disregard with no pa pay off of any kind . photography . half of the shot have reflection in them and and crappy light with no stylization of any kind . shadow and play of shadow . who need that . we need a guy pissing and drinking and hit his wife like he . like he act . we need a bunch of close ups of a not so beautiful woman . we need an amateurish climax of his capture by an unconvincing arabian torturer . this film have so much wrong that it isn not worth the no budget it have . frankly and i haven not see a film this bad since american pie 5. yup . that bad . i have just start watch his veronica foss movie and which seem much good and base on the first 15 minute ( since it do have a hint of direct and artistic idea and unlike this crap ) and so i would not argue that fasbinder clueless . but this . this film suck .
