Novel by Nabokov. Script by Tom Sto🦂ppard. Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Starring Dirk Bogarde. Got to be some kind of masterpiece, right? Well… no. Datin🐎g from 1978, Fassbinder’s first English-language film is frankly a mess.

Set in Berlin as the Nazis rise, it has Bogarde as an expat Russian chocolate magnate with a dumb, faithless wife (Andréa Ferréol) who, meeting a down𝓰-and-out he thinks is his double, decides to bump him off and steal his identity.

Everything about Despair feels queasily off – the plot, the acting, the ওdialogue and the fussily over-decorated sets🐟.
