Iggy and Bowie went there. Nick Cave and RSH went there. Even HTRK and The Devastations went there. Now you can see what all the fuss was about with Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz screening at ACMI in two separate packages the coming fortnight.
This fully-restored, 16-hour epic of neue Deutsche cinema follows hulking manchild ex-con Franz Biberkopf's wanderings from one disaster to the next in the 1920s Berlin underworld.
Released just a tad too late to become Ian Curtis's new favourite film, Alexanderplatz was shown on West German TV in 1980 and has just recently been issued in a lavish DVD box in the US by Criterion. What we're trying to say is, despite taking about as long to watch as it takes to fly to Germany, Berlin Alexanderplatz is worth it.
