Berlin Alexanderplatz at PS-1












Fassbinder's controversial and bizarre epic "Berlin Alexanderplatz" is on exhibit at PS-1, both as a "multichannel video installation" (is what I believe they call it) and as a series of film stills--the room filled with film stills is what really caught my attention. Viewed as single images, the cinematography (by Xaver Schwarzenberger) becomes even more captivating and lyrical.
