Despair (1978)
Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Berlin, 1930, during the rise of Nazism. Hermann Hermann, a Russian emigrant and chocolate manufacturer, married to the capricious Lydia, loses his temper more and more every day when dealing with his workers and other businessmen; until he meets Felix, a vagrant, who seems to be physically identical to him; a disconcerting fact that leads Hermann Hermann to plot a particular way out of a fake world he actually hates.

What critics compared Despair to
Preston Sturges isn't listed, but he should have been, for this is Rainer Werner Fassbinder's funniest picture, and closer than you would expect to Unfaithfully Yours.
