Every once in awhile a mainstream film comes along that boggles the mind because of its bravura. In this film that bravura encompasses both cinematic style and uncompromisingly realistic performances. Certainly, I would venture to say I've never seen anything remotely like it. Actually, during my youth, this film would have been X-Rated and exclusively shown in "art houses." It is beyond full frontal male nudity because Michael Fassbender is inordinately endowed with a penis so lethal you might eliminate the 'f' from his last name and get the picture. I suppose there is some sort of plot, but frankly, I was so completely shocked by the sexual antics they pretty much burned out the retinas for whatever else may have gone on. So, you see, I bought the DVD in order to find out what this movie was actually about. I'll happily share that info after the re-viewing occurs....Incidentally, if you happen to know a boastful male who thinks he's all that, show him this DVD and then see how he thinks he "measures up!" LOL!Read full review

Fassbinder shows off his Junk so frequently that no surprise when you get him home. Just the Glory.

Very intense movie. Certainly gives one an idea of the mind of a sex addict as well as indications that it stems to his upbringing due to his sister having her issues & their volatile love hate relationship! Seeking love via intimacy while avoiding emotion would create a sex addict. It is a excellent yet sad movie & the acting is superb! The music totally engulfed me! It would not be for anyone who finds nudity offensive. It was done as though you are there in his mind. Loved it!
This is one of those spectacular, painful dramas that are so honest and suggestive that you can have several interpretations from it. The cinematography and acting are lovely. The characters are deep and the "New York" scene is heart-wrenching. It kind of says the same as Fight Club, but a lot more elegantly and sublime. This movie is in my top-5. I totally recommend it to anyone.
