Damn. Quarantine was good for Russell. My favorite of his films since the old days of Trypps.

Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? 1970
Fassbinder uses the same trick over and over again throughout this film. A sequence begins in closeup or in a two shot. There's a conversation. And then, gradually, the camera pulls back to reveal one or two other people who serve as an audience. It's their presence that generates the tension, the awkwardness, the anxiety. This is Fassbinder's FACES -- a story told in reaction shots.
