Aroview: Fassbinder's one-and-only sci-fi foray is awash with trademark visual motifs, gaudy fashion, and dramatic power struggles of the highest order, adapting the novel 'Simulacron-3' into a pre-MATRIX future noir of corporate conspiracy and virtual reality. Originally made for German television, here presented as two feature length movies.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
4 stars (Very Good) There are two very good back grounding documentaries on the DVD. The film has many of Fassbinder's regulars and other interesting castings. The music is bizarre. ~Tubbs
