The Baader Meinhof KomplexSynopsis Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear
of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the still fragile German
democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation led by Andreas Baader
(Moritz Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Martina Gedeck) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna
Wokalek) are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of
fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of
whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by
employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose
their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of
the German police force Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz). And while he succeeds in his
relentless pursuit of the young errorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of
the iceberg. |
