Plot

Goalkeeper Josef Bloch is sent off after a foul, wanders into the city and commits a murder, then drifts in an Austrian village.

Sinekatalog’s take

Wim Wenders's early film, from Peter Handke's novel, is cool, sparse and unsettling, about alienation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
