Kamikaze 89

I see in Kamikaze 1989 both echoes and premonitions of other much more famous films, all with considerably larger budgets. I recognize that this must be because all dystopic fiction commences from the two greats, Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World.

This film comes across as a very ambitious project. It features Rainer Werner Fassbinder (only acting, he has no creative role in the project beyond that as far as I can tell) in the lead.

What kind of movie is 'Kamikaze 89'? Science fiction?

I came into this movie with an open mind because I knew the chances of this movie being an authentic Cyberpunk film was minimal. Boy did this movie suck my prostate clean.

This must be one of the worst films I have ever seen! There is no beginning, no story, and no end!

1989, to be precise. As imagined by Germans in 1982.

A futurism crime thriller was a different venue for Fassbinder, whose stature had grown lately with films in historical settings. Though he didn't direct "Kamikaze," it was helmed by fellow New German filmmaker Gremm & has the moody complexity for which both directors are known, as well as more action.

You really have to be in a very particular state of mind to appreciate the utter katastraüm that is this film.You can read all over the internet that RW Fassbinder used to direct up to 4 films a year EXCLUDING acting assignments for other directors and it shows perfectly in Kamikaze how little time he had to prepare for an acting job.
