Classified under Fassbinder's earliest era, I see this more as the seminal film in the next stage of his post anti-theater work.

Underrated... a simple but distinctive film, moving in its own subtle way.

Lots of early Godard over here, again. Amateurish, but not so much like Fassbinder's previous works. Check out Fassbinder himself dancing to the Jailhouse Rock like a schzophrenic maniac, while Hanna Schygulla shakes her hairy armpits! This is a cool lost gem.

Rio das Mortes estreava na TV da Alemanha Ocidental há 50 anos. Aparentemente esse é um dos filmes do Fassbinder menos queridos pela galera, mas não sem qualidades, acho que ele lida muito bem na sua temática: o quanto as mulheres tem de aguentar da fantasia/fantasma/bullshit masculina? DVDRip no MakingOff.

Its a quirky, arty film with a real sense of 'the grass is greener on the other side' about it. It focusses on two people seemingly desperate to believe a better life & circumstances can be found by up rooting themselves from Germany to Peru, regardless of it's shaky economic footing and other practicalities. I did find myself feeling sorry for them, it has to be said. I can relate to having faith and hoping/dreaming of starting a new life elsewhere, even though that is very unlikely to happen.
