Dorian Gray im Spiegel der Boulevardpresse

A difficult film to rate, it's dense bordering on impenetrable at times, parts of it sort of drag and it's a bit overlong in general, nevertheless it's still pretty remarkable and unique, as demanding as it is. Ottinger was an associate of Fassbinder's (and several of his regulars appear here) and she's sort of like his weirder, punkier radical feminist counterpart, but i could just as easily compare this to Jarman or Rappaport although really it's not quite like anything else i've seen.
