...first saw it when it initially came to the US, shown in a movie theater over TWO days...that's about 8 hours per day. Thought it was as good as any cinema experience ever. I'm about to start watching it through again, this time at a more leisurely pace, to see how much of what I remember is accurate. One thing I remember being intrigued by was the way Fassbinder kept the camera continuously moving in a way that was dynamic and worked big time. Watched it about the time I made the transition into (non-fiction) filmmaking so it was an especial thrill to someone breaking into the craft.

Agreement, whole heartedly. If you are a Fassbinder aficionado, - tinear 12:44:54 12/18/07 (0)
you will also be pleasantly surprised to see some of his troupe in major roles.
I've finished Parts 1 and 2 and, thanks to your observation, I'll pay special attention to the camera movements.
One thing I've noticed: at least through these beginning parts, the palette is yellow/brown/rust.
