Reception [edit]
Initial reception was by and large negative, and the picture was fifty-fifty booed at the 19th Berlin International Moving picture Festival in 1969.[4] Today, even so, information technology is seen every bit a fine example of Fassbinder's early style, with a heavy 'nouvelle vague' influence.
The film is defended to "Claude Chabrol, Éric Rohmer, Jean-Marie Straub, Linio, and Cuncho". The last two refer to the main characters in Damiano Damiani's 1966 pic A Bullet for the General. Ulli Lommel'due south styling (and as well the poster artwork) is inspired by Alain Delon in Le Samouraï.
