Re-released into a merciless society for the third time since the film began, the understandably-scarred Franz Biberkopf decides to retreat onto more familiar ground. Fassbinder rests his camera upon our sorry protagonist's visage as he searches for (and finds) solace in the depths of an alcoholic stupor. Pathetic yet poignant, hopeless yet charming - the confessional scene proves emblematic of its director's unique brand of difficult, but forever compassionate humanism.

  • Phenomenal scene. Both hilarious and sad. Acting by Lamprecht is incomparable. And in one long shot!

  • Certainly this scene is very sad and show a hopeless man but at the same is so tender.
