Product Description
Book Description
Alfred Doblin's 1929 Berlin Alexanderplatz is a masterpiece of modern European literature. The first German novel to adopt the technique of James Joyce, it tells the story of ex-con Franz Biberkopf. Struggling to survive among the poverty, unemployment, crime, and burgeoning Nazism of 1920s Germany, fate teases him with a little pleasure before cruelly turning him in.
In 1980, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the genius of New German Cinema, adapted Doblin's novel into a legendary and controversial TV series starring Hanna Schygulla, Barbara Sukowa, and others. Presented in its re-mastered movie version at the 2007 Berlin film festival to unanimous acclaim, it will be on view in an international travelling exhibition.
This book features over 500 color film stills from the series, the complete script, and essays by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Susan Sontag, and exhibition curator Klaus Biesenbach.

The Alexanderplatz Bible, Sep 10 2008
By Gregory Turnbull - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rainer Werner Fassbinder: Berlin Alexanderplatz (Hardcover)
This is a dream come true for Alexanderplatzphiles. I thought I was one of the few people on the planet who adore Fassbinder's take on Doblin's novel, but for a book this copious to be produced shows that there are more of us out there than I could imagine! A beautiful, loving homage, and an invaluable companion to the video.

This review is from: Rainer Werner Fassbinder: Berlin Alexanderplatz (Hardcover)
Do you love "Berlin Alexanderplatz" as much as my husband and I do? Are you a Fassbinder fanatic who appreciates all of his special photographic details? If so, you will adore this book. It's huge, beautifully made, and full of amazing stills from the film. The essays are also fascinating. This is a bargain!!! It's a must for all Fassbinder fans, students, and scholars.
