Berlin Alexanderplatz in New York Review of Books
In "The Genius of Berlin," a New York Review of Books comparison between Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz and its source novel by Alfred Döblin, Ian Buruma remarks that "we would never have been able to appreciate the full beauty of Fassbinder's film if it had not been remastered for the new DVD collection...the original screening on television certainly didn't do it justice, and it is only now that the colors look the way Fassbinder intended."
