Jorgos (Rainer Werner Fassbinder) is a Greek immigrant in Germany
who encounters the intolerance of the locals against foreign workers.
Open hostility turns to violence when he is beaten up by the authoritarian
thugs after dating a German woman. Male and female nudity along
with hetero and homosexual sex scenes are shown in this searing
indictment against prejudice and fascism. This feature took the
Prize of International Film Critics at the Mannheim Film Festival
in 1969. |
