Paso Doble poster

Released in 1984, Paso Doble is a notable film directed by Lothar Lambert, running about 90 minutes.

What it’s about. The outrageous and popular underground filmmaker Lothar Lambert has been called the "poor man's Fassbinder" (or Berlin's Andy Warhol) for films like Fucking City that go beyond and beneath the melodrama to the gutter side of family life. With Paso Doble, Lambert graduates from the "no budget" to the low budget commercial film. But he maintains his wacky comi-pathos in a relatively straight narrative about a middle class couple who, after managing to ruin an idyllic vacation in Spain, embark on an extravaganza of sordid love affairs. Their teenage kids watch with raised eyebrows as Mom and Pop--played by underground stars Ulrike S. and Albert Heins--poignantly grope their way back to each other.

Who’s in it. Paso Doble stars Albert Heins, Ulrike Schirm, Susanne Stahl and Christoph Wellemeyer.
