As with Ulysses or Infinite Jest, it's not enough to buy the set and park it proudly on your shelf with every intention of getting around to it one day. Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Kate Taylor Globe and Mail Providing a core somehow both solid and mercurial, the remarkable Gunter Lamprecht portrays a compelling mix of animal magnetism, raw violence and bumbling good cheer. Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine This sprawling, pummeling, amazing work is not a lot of fun, but in its remorseless depiction of these doomed creatures it opens doors into the dark chambers of common experiences and fears. Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Elisa Guimarães Collider Verbose and somewhat experimental, Berlin Alexanderplatz can often be a hard watch, but it is definitely worth checking out this cinema and TV classic. Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Garland Kyle Gay Community News (Boston) This mammoth undertaking by Fassbinder... marks one of his most brilliant works. Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada One of the most fascinating and best-accomplished projects in recent film history. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
