"Camille looks down at first, but then raises her eyes at Stephane with such a deep look that no doubt is left about the overwhelming intensity of her feelings for him... There is no indication, however, that Stephane will change the basic conduct of his life." Jorn K. Bramann
A passage from the film I Don't Just Want You to Love Me aka Ich will nicht nur, daß ihr mich liebt - Der Filmemacher Rainer Werner Fassbinder(1993) directed by Hans Günther Pflaum. In this passage Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film Fontane - Effi Briest (1974) is analyzed.

An ambiguous ending.
