Sinekatalog’s take
Rainer Werner Fassbinder's fourteen-part adaptation of Döblin follows Franz Biberkopf, a former prisoner trying to live honestly in 1920s Berlin. Günter Lamprecht is magnificent in a vast, bleak, obsessive masterpiece of television and cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
