Lothar Lambert, Wolfram Zobus,
Germany,
1974,
(100 mins)
Recommended for adults only
This is a complex portrayal of the social alienation suffered by a Black American GI attempting to start a career and maintain a relationship with a white German woman in Berlin. Drifting through the city’s subcultures—including queer cruising spots and Berlin’s Black Panther Solidarity Committee—fleeting moments of tenderness prove less common than crass fetishization and brazen bigotry.
