In Reply to: Fassbinder's "Berlin Alexanderplatz:" easily among not only the greatest posted by tinear on April 13, 2007 at 13:58:02:
...although I rarely buy DVDs I'll probably get this one. Saw it complete in a theater over a 2-day period when it first came to the US and thought it was astonishing. I read the novel upon which it was based and although it was very worth reading I consider the film far superior. I still remember how Fassbinder's seemingly never-still camera made perfect sense and created an incredibly dynamic film experience.
Follow Ups:
cinematography by Xavier Schwartzenberger is second to none.
An amazing film which transcends, as all great art does, its medium.
BTW, your Paper Clip film is showing locally. Looks like it has "legs."
...and entering the region of absurdity. "The definitive male performance in film history." ???There's no such thing except in a fevered imagination. Perhaps, in your view, an "unsurpassed" performance or something like that. But there can't be just one.
A machine isn't saying so, it's me. So... need I mention it's my opinion, which I'm sure you'd agree I have a right to express, however strongly?
For its range, lack of any remote reliance on visible technique or histrionics, and ability to expose the humanity of what ultimately is a despicable character..there is no equal in film.
Lamprecht also is not a wonderful physical specimen, seemingly a glob of fat and muscle with nary a "beautiful" physical trait to help him.
I have long considered Brando's performance in "Last Tango" the ultimate screen performance but no longer: Lamprecht bests him, considerably.
