Gripping drama, looks incredible. - Veronika Voss review by AL
Despite Fassbinder's astonishing work rate, I don't think he ever made a bad movie and Veronika Voss rates with the best of them. The black and white photography is just stunning, the story is gripping and the central performances are wonderful. I'd love to see this on the big screen at some point.
