Fabian 's Fassbinder redux atmosphere first attracts and then tires, but should add value in German-speaking markets. The film’s double title reflects some of the novel’s tribulations — it was originally published in Germany in a bowdlerized version called simply Fabian , but even cutting … [Read more...] about ‘Fabian — Going to the Dogs’: Film Review | Berlin 2021
