In Reply to: Fassbinder's magnum opus, "Berlin Alexanderplatz:" posted by tinear on December 18, 2007 at 08:49:15:
...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.
