Pretty much a Fassbinder clone


The scenes are shot nearly carbon copy to many of Fassbinder's films. After looking it up, it's no surprise that Fassbinder was Tarr's filmmaking idol. Strange way to pay tribute by copying the style straight forward with Tarkovsky slow pans thrown in. Those were the best parts obviously, the dialogue is weak and artificial as hell.

The dialogue is stylised; it is not supposed to be natural or conversational.
