Viewing Notes

I really like the grimy look and all the on-location shooting thru the streets of Hamburg (what’s up w/Hamburg in my viewing recently? Started w/Golden Glove and now this is the third film, IIRC). The story really is all the over the place but I’m sure that was part of the intent, to mirror the erratic behavior of Willi. By the end his flightiness was losing me.
