Summary: Frau Kusters is preparing dinner late one seemingly ordinary afternoon in her seemingly ordinary kitchen in Frankfurt, Germany. Mrs. Kusters wants to add canned sausages to the stew, her annoying daughter-in-law thinks otherwise. The point, we soon find out, is moot: Mr. Kusters has murdered the personnel director at the soap factory where he works before committing suicide. (imdb)

The german ending is incomplete and dissatisfying. The US ending is irritatingly happy. I think I'd give it an 8 if the last scene was filmed.

Both endings have value - I prefer the American version.

A great movie about cynicism, gullibility and the exploitability of loss. As usual Fassbinder uses the minimalism, stylishness and stageyness of a soap-opera to convey something deep and complex more tangibly. Here and there he exaggerates and makes it too contrived for its own good, but not so much as to ruin this excellent movie.
