Ali: Fear Eats the Soul

• 
  Commentary:  This film is a German remake of All That Heaven Allows. I just received it, so haven't yet watched it, but I'm really looking forward to it. I can't quite get a fix on this one and refuse to read the Wikipedia write-up, below, before I watch it, so stay tuned for more commentary.
    I'll tell you one thing I'm going to do, though. I'm going to figure out how many Sirk movies I have in my collection. It's entirely possible I have some of which I'm unaware. If so, I might need to make a new label. I know. This movie isn't a Sirk movie, but it can be argued that without Sirk's movies, this movie might not exist.
    Well, it turns out I have three Sirk movies. So far. His oeuvre is influential, though, so I have a feeling I'll be acquiring more of his work. A label, his name becomes.
