Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 'Bavarian Trilogy' that made Achternbusch the enfant terrible of German cinema — Fassbinder's chaotic country cousin.
Achternbusch shot many scenes in his actual Munich apartment with friends playing versions of themselves, blurring documentary and fiction until neither exists.
