Chicago Reader review:
Rainer Werner Fassbinder has a genius for detailing the pain of
suppressed emotional states, and even at its most achingly deliberate,
his style in dealing with the petit bourgeois mentality is a source of
endless fascination. This 1971 feature, originally shot for German
television, chronicles the struggles of a fruit peddler to build a
semblance of a life for himself and his wife—with whom he maintains only
the barest contact—in postwar Germany. With Hans Hirschmuller, Irm
Hermann, and Hanna Schygulla.
