Fassbinder’s immersive epic follows the hulking, childlike ex-convict Franz Biberkopf (Günter Lamprecht) as he attempts to “become an honest soul” amid the corrosive urban landscape of Weimar-era Germany. With equal parts cynicism and humanity, Fassbinder details a mammoth portrait of a common man struggling to survive in a viciously uncommon time.Berlin Alexanderplatz \"was shot at a speed of 25 frames per second. Due to technical discrepancies between PAL and NTSC standards, the film is presented on the edition at a slightly slower speed. On the edition, however, it was possible to present the film at its original speed. This accounts for the difference in run time between the two editions.\"\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema 1 Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44865318518863,"sku":"715515026529","price":139.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/2787\/5407\/files\/715515026529_ae862859-59c0-44c9-b57d-9ae188ead64c.jpg?v=1773760355","url":"https:\/\/cinema1.ca\/products\/715515026529","provider":"Cinema 1 Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
