回复 :一位維權女律師公然抨擊政權盲目鎮壓伊朗民間團體，換來律師牌照被吊銷，而她的記者丈夫也被迫逃匿。前路茫茫，她唯有設法逃離伊朗，但要獨自應付重重困難，既有官僚制度的欺壓，亦有針對女性的社會不公。導演借女主角的故事來比喻自己被政府打壓的遭遇，所以本片的拍攝過程只能低調進行。導演身兼監製及編劇，在這樣不利的環境下仍有膽量去批判現今伊朗社會。雖然在康城影展一種關注單元中勇奪導演大獎，但卻因其敢言作風而被禁止離國。

回复 :Volker Schlöndorff transposes Bertolt Brecht’s late-expressionist work to latter-day 1969. Poet and anarchist Baal lives in an attic and reads his poems to cab drivers. At first feted and later rejected by bourgeois society, Baal roams through forests and along motorways, greedy for schnapps, cigarettes, women and men: ‘You have to let out the beast, let him out into the sunlight.’ After impregnating a young actress he soon comes to regard her as a millstone round his neck. He stabs a friend to death and dies alone. ‘You are useless, mangy and wild, you beast, you crawl through the lowest boughs of the tree.’The film takes youthful impetuousness and hatred of oppression as its subject and also ponders the cult of genius and sexual morals. Rainer Werner Fassbinder simultaneously plays both Baal and himself and is surrounded by many actors who were later to perform in his own films. After the film was broadcast on West German television, Brecht’s widow Helene Weigel prohibited any further screenings, arguing that the social circumstances engendering Baal’s rebelliousness had not been adequately explained.
