A goalkeeper is sent off during a game for committing a foul. He
spends the night with a cinema cashier, whom he kills afterwards.
Sparse,
unsettling crime melodrama portrays an alienated, unpleasant
protagonist in realistic German urban and rural settings without trying
to explain his irrational actions; nevertheless, a classic of the New
German Cinema era.
Halliwell**: "Disturbing film of the failure of communication, difficult but rewarding for the patient."
