Cast: Günter Lamprecht (Franz Biberkopf), Hanna Schygulla (Eva), Karlheinz Braun (Löwenhund), Claus Holm (Wirt), Franz Buchrieser (Gottfried Meck), Brigitte Mira (Frau Bast), Roger Fritz (Herbert), Gottfried John (Reinhold Hoffmann), Barbara Sukowa (Mieze), Günther Kaufman (Theo), Ivan Desny (Pums), Volker Spengler (Bruno), Vitus Zeplichal (Rudi), Barbara Valentin (Ida).Summary: After spending four years in prison for killing his girlfriend, lumbering man-child Franz Biberkopf is finally released back into society. He wants to stay honest now he has left jail, but it is tough in the Alexanderplatz section of Berlin. After failing to succeed in several 'regular' jobs, he falls in with some old cohorts and an on-again, off-again association with thugs. Post-war society is crumbling, and it appears that nothing will bring it back. Originally made for television, Berlin Alexanderplatz is a prototype for the modern long-form drama, grandfather to Tony and the Sopranos.
