Yup, that's the cheapest I could find (indeed, the only price I could) for VHS of the 15-hr. classic, "Berlin Alexanderplatz."
High time the DVD came out and made it a tad more accessible.
Follow Ups:
...when it was first released in the US. Thought it was one of the great cinema experiences of my life. The camera never stops and it all makes amazing spatial sense. One of the rare films based on a novel (of those I've both seen and read) where I thought the film was greater than the novel.

taped from a PBS broadcast years ago, using an antenna with fairly poor reception. I think I will wait for the DVD. I've seen it at least 3 times. Really really good. For a long time I would use the name Biberkopf when giving a name at a restaurant, my girlfiend at the time had that idea and it stuck.
In IMDB's web page for Berplatz, it lists Criterion as a distributor. Maybe that means it will be on DVD soon. I certainly would like to see it with a top notch transfer.
There was a DVD set on ebay for $115.http://cgi.ebay.com/Fassbinders-BERLIN-ALEXANDERPLATZ-6-DVD-Set-Genuine-R2_W0QQitemZ330080787053QQihZ014QQcategoryZ90728QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I didn't know if you spoke German, and as far as regions... a $39 player today does them all, plus PAL.

Heck, I even got one film from Patrick, it is European region, in Japanese with German subtitles! It did me lots of good :-(, but the player did its job displaying everything! :-)
