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 enjoy self-destructive films, and this is one of them. Rainer Werner Fassbinder demonstrated here how interesting he was as a creator, both in directing, screenwriting, and acting. This is his showcase, where he allows criticism of society and individuals to stand out. He also does not use any pathetic tools.
