Kamikaze-1989 1982


Kamikaze-1989 1982 - Director: Wolf Gremm
Rainer Werner Fassbinder























In a totalitarian society of the future, in which the government controls all facets of the media, a homicide detective investigates a string of bombings, and finds out more than he bargained for.
Germany has become the world’s foremost economic superpower, suicide is a thing of the past, and everyone does drugs, except there are no nasty side effects anymore. An overweight Rainer Werner Fassbinder mostly scowls his way through a quest to find out who’s behind a series of murders that may be linked to a new resistance group. Or something like that. The plot seems secondary to the outrageous costumes (Fassbinder wears leopard tights throughout the whole film) and scenarios (like a police discotheque where you can shoot on firing ranges). It’s an ugly film, and a stupid one, too, but it is perversely fascinating, and worth watching once, if only to impress your friends.imdb.com
