In synopsis, the story sounds lame. Fassbinder gets it to work. Please trust me on this.

Compelling character study of a villainous fashion designer's fall from grace, the apartment setting and use of silences gives an unbearable, claustrophobic tension to the hysteric proceedings. On a superficial level, the costumes and gaudy aesthetics are incredible.

Master-slave dialectic put on film, with some really unsympathetic characters to back it up. Too bad it's not very engaging, although the Marlene character opens up for some interesting metaphoric interpretations. The talent of Fassbinder is evident, but I admit it took some iron will to sit this one through.

A work of immense emotional intelligence and aesthetic brilliance. I suppose it's not for everyone, though. It features six women and no men, and doesn't do much to cover up the fact that it's adapted from a play - it looks and feels like one.

What a perfect ending. There's a rhythm & progression to this that I can't help but get with, much in the same deconstructionist vein of Persona/Mulholland Dr. [this film has an unhealthy hold on me, if unchecked, I would watch it much too much]
