Franz "Fox" is a working-class, carnival worker in need of cash for his weekly lottery purchase. He's picked up by an older man named Max, who introduces him to two young gay men. The next day, Fox wins 500,000 marks in the lottery, and the two young men suddenly become Fox's friends. (Criterion)

I like self-destructive films and this is one of them. Rainer Werner Fassbinder showed here how interesting he was as a creator, both in the field of directing and screenwriting, as well as acting. This is his concert, where he lets criticism of society and individuals shine through. At the same time, he does not use any melodramatic tools.
