Yes, and it is an average film with an average plot.
The film is a bland, straightforward made-for-television film about an introverted, quiet, young man recalling his financial struggles as a low-income, commonplace, newly married construction labourer.
He's being interviewed by an older woman, and his narrative, depicted in flashbacks, commences with him recalling his work building a home for his parents.
As his narrative progresses, we realize he is a prisoner recounting to a psychologist/psychiatrist the events leading up to his crime. There are two lightning fast flashbacks that appear at random moments [him committing the crime], to add to the drama and provide a clue about his situation.
It is not filled with Fassbinder's trademark style, it lacks his exhaustively complex plot constructions, it lacks his spectacular art direction and misé-en-scene, it lacks phenomenal performances, I felt the plot was predictable and typical and uninteresting, except for the young man's mother, whose presence deserved further exploration since she was a key reason for why her son was introverted and a bit abnormal.
I rated the film a 5/10, which I interpret as indifference. I'm indifferent to the film. It's not good and it's not bad, it felt like a textbook exercise in filmmaking, although it bored me it was technically flawless, but its technical component was, again, bland.
Make it one of the last Fassbinder films you watch.
