They shared some actors, or rather Fassbinder people acted in his films, Harry Baer was the lead in 'Ludwig'.

(btw I've only seen Ludwig (but it was when I was school probably) and Parsifal.)

Right, I hadn't noticed. Quite like to see Ludwig next, just to see how it compares with the Visconti film.
I also watched a part of Shoah at the weekend. In the intro to Hitler the circus master introduces the film with words to the effect that 'this is not a film about the war and the suffering and a body count that tends to operate' in these other wwii documentaries. You see his point when in Shoah Lanzmann keeps a close up to a crying jew that is recounting this awful episode.

Ludwig is my favorite of what I've seen (which includes Karl May and the first half of Hitler).
