SUBSCRIBEI just got a hold of Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz!
July 30th, 2008
After having seen a DVD copy of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s monumental 15 1/2 hour work Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) for quite some time from a supplier’s stock, I finally decided to buy it! I’ve been intrigued about this work, which was originally made for television in 13 episodes based on the book by Alfred Döbling. Come to think of it, it is longer than Lav Diaz’s Heremias but I don’t intend to watch it in one sitting. Maybe, a week or two.
First read about it in Time Magazine’s yearender picks and with just being introduced to the works of this German director, I am looking forward to watch this soon.
