 | | Berlin Alexanderplatz is about one Franz Biberkopf (literally "Beaverhead"), an almost painfully average human being, not too good-looking, not too ugly, just right to be tortured, but left alive, in 1920s agonizing Germany, about his release from prison and why he'd rather go back in instead of dealing with life. |
 | | Fassbinder's "Berlin Alexanderplatz" resurrects the enigmatic Alexanderplatz by painting a brilliant yet distressing picture of life in Berlin during the turbulent period between the two world wars. |
 | | In a way, Berlin Alexanderplatz is a horror film, in which the horror lies in the depravity of the characters, and in the dark, brooding society in which they find themselves. |
