"The little chaos" is a 9-minute black-and-white short film written and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder from when he was only 20 years old. We follow a trio of magazine salespeople (two men, including Fassbinder, one woman). Sadly people are not particularly interested in buying any of their stuff. So the three decide to commit a robbery instead. They have success, Fassbinder asks the other two what they are planning with their money and then we see them flee while the police follows them. There is really nothing interesting about this short film and I would not recommend it to anybody else except really big fans of the director. The acting isn't great either, especially in that one scene where Fassbinder asks the lady for the key to the safe and for some strange reason she puts her hand right where it is telling him the location. This is probably the weakest of Fassbinder's three very early short movies. Lots of chaos here. Stay away.
