Sobre o filme

Franz Biberkopf is a good-natured, soft, tender, but also hard, violent, and brutal man who lives in Berlin in the end of the 20’s. He wanders through the city without perspectives, goals, or work. All that keeps him going is the belief that human beings are good, no matter how rotten they are. The story begins when Franz Biberkopf leaves Tegel prison after serving four years for manslaughter. Drifting about Berlin, he decides to start a new life. He has a few people he can count on: his ex-girlfriend Eva, now working as a high-class prostitute, as well as the down-to-earth innkeeper and his wife. But no one finds work for him. Feeling superfluous, unwanted and unloved, he crawls away and drinks. With a running time of approximately 15 hours, Berlin Alexanderplatz is a monument of late 20th-century filmmaking and is seen by many as the consummate expression of film giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder´s vision of humanity.
