Whoever thought it was necessary to kick Margit Carstensen's dogs underneath the table and use Rammstein as background music. The decision to put a modern twist on this documentary was superficial and felt like an unnecessary attempt to be different.

If anyone reading this hasn't seen Christian Braad Thomsen's documentary about Fassbinder (titled: "Fassbinder - Love Without Demands") I highly suggest you watch it. It did his life and career more justice and painted an intimate, affecting portrait of the man himself.
