Gods of the Plague

To be quite honest, I was never really quite sure what was happening in this film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. It seems to be a pseudo-film noir involving crime, women, and the youth culture. Aesthetically, however, I found this to be one of his most purely interesting exercises. At times, the camera work, the portrayal of youth culture, the reinvention of genre, and the loose, free flowing style is positively Godardian, particularly his films of the early 60's. So, despite the fact I can't tell you what was happening, I was always intrigued and interested by how it was being shown.
