What The Baader Meinhof Complex Is About
At the end of the nineteen-sixties a group of young West Germans move from protest to armed action. Bank robberies, bombings and arrests follow one another. The film makes them neither heroes nor monsters; the narrative lays events out almost in the order of news bulletins and leaves the judgement to the viewer. That choice became the most argued point about it: some read it as neutrality, others as making violence exciting. It is based on Stefan Aust's investigative book. Moritz Bleibtreu and Martina Gedeck are in the cast. It was nominated for the foreign film Academy Award. Before watching: names and incidents come fast with little political context. If the German nineteen-seventies are unfamiliar, it can be hard to follow.
