Sinekatalog’s take

Rainer Werner Fassbinder's drama follows an older German cleaning woman and a younger Moroccan worker who marry and face prejudice. Brigitte Mira and El Hedi ben Salem are heartbreaking in a spare, tender and angry masterpiece of the New German Cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
