You have to accept the central plot proposition on faith. A large, pasty, unbaked doughgirl, who works as a cosmetician in a mortuary, sets her cap for a lanky passive subway conductor. Aside from her girth and his sweet tooth, these two Fassbinderian outcasts haven't much in the way of personalities. (The woman does show some physical blossoming as their affair takes root.) The Candy Land color scheme -- with scenes shot alternately through filters of green, red, yellow, purple, etc., or with differently colored lights inside the scenes -- adds to the arbitrary quality of the entire show. But it also adds interest (or puzzlement, at the least) where otherwise there wasn't any. With Marianne Sagebrecht and Eisi Gulp; directed by Percy Adlon. (1984) — Duncan Shepherd
