Nov 30, 2015 Feels like Fassbinder is trying to remake Love is Colder Than Death, but he overdoes it. See more Nov 21, 2014 I don't like Fassbinder's early films so far at all. So slow moving...I know what he's doing and it works but then he pushes the boundaries into near Warhol territory in terms of listlessness placed in all its glory. But the homage and cliches to older films also reeks slightly pretentious but he shows so much promise that it's frustrating to look at these earlier art forms and realize that this is nothing more than shit, man. Shit! See more Feb 5, 2014 A great-looking film, but it makes no sense to me, unless it's just Fassbinder imagining himself and his associates in a film noir criminal underworld setting (and/or it's a sequel to Love is Colder than Death). See more Jan 10, 2014 A self-conscious film about stupid men and the even stupider women that love them for no reason that I can figure out. A fairly unpleasent experience. Harry Baer is absolutely terrible. See more Aug 19, 2012 There isn't much of a story here. To the extent that it remains watchable, it's due to Fassbinder's masterful direction. See more Oct 8, 2011 Maybe Fassbender was about quantity more than quality in 1970, making 5 films within a few months, and for me, "Gods Of The Plague" was pretty meh, as a standalone film. Now, back to back with "Love is Colder...", and "The American Soldier" together, maybe you have something going on, but this is not The Godfather... more of an exercise in Fassbinder finding himself. The creativity bug is here, but the auteuristic talent is still forthcoming... See more Read all reviews
