About this product

Product Information

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER is Fassbinder's odd, stylized homage to American gangster films. Made during the Vietnam War, the story focuses on a soldier who returns to Germany from the conflict abroad and promptly embarks on a lucrative career as a contract killer. He soon sinks into a murky, noirish world populated by porn, prostitution and lowlife hangers-on. But this hired gun doesn't work for the mafia; he's been hired to kill by the State. Hiding behind his policeman's badge, he enjoys the same government-sanctioned right to kill that he exercised as a soldier in Vietnam. In the midst of this squalid tale, Fassbinder takes the opportunity to give a nod to several of his heroes -- some of the movie's minor characters are named Fuller, Walsh, and even Rosa von Praunheim. A strange, but excellent film.

    The item that arrived as advertised. A function as intended. The condition was better than I expected. I got some good value for my money. And it has a good appearance. High-quality packaging used. I wasn’t happy about the shipping being delayed by a day, other than that, it was good.Seller was reliable.

    When I tell you this item was protected, it really was!! It wasn’t loose in a poly bag… it came in a box with multiple layers of protection. The shirt is in amazing condition and had no flaws, like it was never worn. I messaged the seller with an offer and got an amazing deal. I couldn’t thank them enough… thank you!
