A film that seems to either inspire utter admiration or hatred, and I'm afraid I fall into the latter category. An incoherent, unsatisfying and hysterical film.

Woo, where to start. This was a stressful film to watch. I got heavy Bergman vibes. The religious overtones, the marriage troubles, the close ups on the face. Those were the positives, I suppose? The first third of this film may be an homage to Bergman, but after that it goes off the rails and becomes a fever dream, bordering on surrealism. Weird film but there is a lot to chew on, symbolism wise. Maybe one day I'll be arsed enough to revisit this to really digest everything.

Outrageous and unforgettable. Some extremely dreadful scenes that are so intent with it's violence, watching the film turns into a frenzy. Evil as temptation may be, it is worth watching for unbearable displays of human satisfaction and the flawed romance between man and woman.

Not a big fan of Zulawski hysterical approach to storytelling -- as I'm not a big fan of Von Trier and Aronofsky, btw -- but this is of course evidently well-acted, gripping and filled with an undeniably gifted camerawork -- actually the subway scenes that made the film famous are not even the best here; I would say the Christ one and the world-ending finale back at the apartment with the boy's teacher. Decaying 80s Berlin as hellish marriage story.
