In German with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy, Drama / Black Comedy

Feat. Margit Carstensen, Karlheinz Bohm
Aroview: Addressing his favourite subject, emotional cruelty, Dir. Fassbinder skillfully works a vein of pitch-black comedy in depicting Margit Cartensen's woeful marriage to blonde sadist Karlheinz Bohm (PEEPING TOM). Mimicking the 50s Hollywood melodrama, this nightmarishly reverses all the cosy decencies.
