Regardless of its length, <em>Berlin Alexanderplatz<\/em> remains &#8212; as Peary notes &#8212; &#8220;extraordinary&#8221; fare, an undeniable investment of time which offers a &#8220;rewarding viewing experience despite the slow moments, the ambiguous philosophizing, and the disappointing [Epilogue] resolution.&#8221; Heavy-set Gunter Lamprecht &#8212; far from leading-man fare &#8212; buoys the entire film, making us care about his fate despite his often ill-advised actions; while it&#8217;s difficult to believe that the pudgy, eventually one-armed Biberkopf could so easily attract beautiful women one after the other, we&#8217;re willing to suspend judgment in favor of remaining caught up in his oddly compelling travails. This remains a truly absorbing character study constructed on an unprecedented cinematic scale, and well worth the time investment &#8212; though as Peary points out, it&#8217;s &#8220;much easier to watch in hour installments on television, for which it was originally made&#8221; (or in two-hour DVD viewings).  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gunter
