Reception
When the film was released in America in 1977, Vincent Canby in The New York Times called it "extraordinarily stylish... quite unlike anything else I've seen... an early glimpse of his [Fassbinder's] dazzling talent and the talents of the stock company of performers and technicians who, with him, have created a body of film work unique in any country in recent years".
