Chinese Roulette, set in an isolated house during a weekend break, is like Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None without the murders - a tense psychodrama in which infidelities are revealed and families breakdown. At its centre is nouvelle vague icon Anna Karina, a rare outsider alongside the familiar Fassbinder faces.

After an imprisoned U-boat commander pulls off a violent rebellion of fellow POWs against British jailers, the camp is assigned a tough new captain.
