again germany, again gay story... i'm getting repetitive, i know. at least it's not the 1930s? anyway, this didn't really work for me. i agree it might have been really shocking when it was realised back in '81, but i guess nowadays we've been exposed to too much. i have to find something more than the shocking factor in a movie in order to like it, i'm afraid. i'd liked it more if they had explored their relationship instead of staying in the surface. nonetheless, the film is autobiographical, so maybe it just stayed superficial, who knows; maybe he just did things he felt like doing without really caring about his partner and quarrelled afterwards instead of talking things through. he was just a dick. but i liked the trashy humorous scenes, like the one at the doctor's waiting room, very john waters or early almodóvar...
