Fassbinder’s immersive epic follows the hulking, childlike ex-convict Franz Biberkopf (Günter Lamprecht) as he attempts to “become an honest soul” amid the corrosive urban landscape of Weimar-era Germany. With equal parts cynicism and humanity, Fassbinder details a mammoth portrait of a common man struggling to survive in a viciously uncommon time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eBerlin Alexanderplatz \u003cem\u003ewas shot at a speed of 25 frames per second.
