  Franz Biberkopf is an unforgettable man: his tender good natured side contradicted by moments of shocking violence. Released from prison following a four year sentence for the manslaughter of his girlfriend he plans to make a new start and a decent life for himself. But a chaotic decadent Berlin of the 20s is not the easiest place for an ex-con to go straight and work is hard to come by. When Franz becomes fascinated by Reinhold a psychotic small-time crook he is soon drawn back into a world he cannot escape. Fassbinders staggering 15 1/2 hour epic is a monument of late 20th-century filmmaking and considered to be the directors masterpiece. Following a massive restoration project overseen by the original editor it is now available for the first time on DVD.
