Typical Fassbinder heavy dialogue and elegant camerawork. The film deconstructs female relationships through a mesmerizing performance by Margit Carstensen. The framing and focus pulls are exceptional considering it's a 2 hour film shot in one room. von Kant spirals into despair as certain relationships explode, but the final scene is beautiful.
