CGiii Comment

Isn't it about time that Fassbinder was exposed???

Why Ozon thought it necessary to film this is beyond all comprehension.

Theatre of the absurd...it may have been...aimed at and only for the pretentious.

This is absurd film-making.

The last act will have you seething...time, negligently, wasted.
