Ultimately, I watched the 13 episodes of Berlin Alexanderplatz by myself in my house in a dark room on a large projector. It was a very unintentionally singular and insular experience for me. As, I look back on the experience - I recall feeling a sense of distance and confusion in the aesthetics of the film, from the opening creditsTHEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537100323057702853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-52902508098725767602010-02-25T17:30:28.672-05:002010-02-25T17:30:28.672-05:00I have just seen B.

I don't know where you find the time. Berlin Alexanderplatz is near the top of my Netflix queue so I'll get to it shortly. I've tried to avoid spoilers throughout your posts and your enthusiasm for the marathon just completed adds to my excitement. Thanks for the effort.<BR/><BR/>ChetChet Mellemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547986971813920497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-18584580130179107042008-01-15T09:50:00.000-05:002008-01-15T09:50:00.000-05:00Reinhold's prison lover is played by the heart-sto...Reinhold's prison lover is played by the heart-stoppingly beautiful Raul Gimenez -- an actor who often played small roles in Fassbinder films ( he and Udo Kier play dancing waiters in <I>Lola</I> for instance.)
