Ali: Fear Eats The Soul, Rainer Werner Fassbinder 1974
"The shot.....shows the two framed so symmetrically in the doorway that, on the one hand, the isolation they feel becomes obvious, and on the other, this frame-within-a-frame reveals the relationship in which we stand to the characters.
At the same time, through the same stylistic device, we are made aware that the couple is lonely and vulnerable, but that they are also prototypes of ourselves."
- Wilfried Wiegand, The Doll in the Doll: Observations on Fassbinder's Films
