Criterion‘s 15 hour seven-disc box set of Rainer Werner Fassbinder‘s Berlin Alexanderplatz looks a little excessive, though my rather fetishistic collecting of their DVDs means that this will probably be winging its way onto my film shelf sometime in the future. Still, it makes that 5-disc Blade Runner special edition look a little half-arsed, doesn’t it?
