ROUNDED THE FIRST TURN

I am still watching Rainer Werner Fassbinder's

Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980)

meaning that I have about 10 hours to go. Maybe 11.

I am caught up in it. I dream about it some but not annoyingly so.

It has its ups and downs.

The main guy is very good. Günther Lamprecht.

Today an old favorite of mine and a Fassbinder vet showed up. Hanna Schygulla.

It is fun. Well. Sort of sad, dramatic, tragic at times fun.

Sometimes he/it slips into fantasy. Nightmarish stuff.

Today there was a ritual slaughter of a sheep which was real. I didn't like that at all. But I got it.

I hope that I don't dream about that.

I will continue but be ready to hide my eyes.
