A beautifully shot homage to classic noir. It's a compelling, swiftly-moving story of a sports journalist who gets involved with a washed-up actress. The high contrast black & white photography, liberal use of unusual wipes and striking musical choices are the highlights. I enjoyed watching it, but like a lot of Fassbinder, by the end I felt like "well, that's that". I think he manages to make his films very distinctive, but they rarely catch hold of me.

(Rewatch) As with Lola, this sometimes doesn't feel as assertively "Fassbinder" as a lot of his other work, and almost risks falling completely into a sort of weird film noir pastiche thing, as visually stunning as it is (and again, it's one of his nicest looking). The plot is sort of weirdly generic but oddly disjointed at the same time. It almost feels at times like a Raoul Ruiz film that's actually trying to make sense.

I'm surprised. I didn't like it at all. As others have pointed out, it looks pretty great but to me it felt wooden and bored me. Zechs performance is good but I got used to it after half of the runtime.

Rather unimaginative for a Fassbinder. Certain sections flourish on his mastery of the camera.
