About this product

Product Information

Director Uli Edel assembles an impressive cast--including Moritz Bleibtreu, Martina Gedeck, and Bruno Ganz--for this adaptation of Stefan Aust's nonfiction book. In Berlin in 1967, a horrific riot inspires a woman named Ulrike Meinhof to join forces with Andreas Baader to battle their government. The pair moves from activism into terrorism, as they lead the group known as the Red Army Faction, aka the Baader-Meinhof Group.

ReviewsTime Out - As an action-packed pageant of events it is excitingly demonstrative and provocative, Empire - Vivid performances from the outstanding cast... Fascinating history, Variety - An explosive performance by Johanna Wokalek gives some relief to an otherwise long and humdrum series of characters, blow-'em-ups and prison locations, Uncut - A Molotov cocktail of sex, violence, and dangerous ideals, The Times - Spiralling tensions between Meinhof and Ensslin exert a morbid fascination... The film gives us the complexity of a terrorist cell and how it operates... thoroughly researched and directed with integrity
Additional InformationSet against a backdrop of violent political upheaval and social unrest, THE BAADER-MEINHOF COMPLEX explores the fine line between activism and extremism. It's the 1970s and Germany is a hub of terrorist activity. A group of radicalised left-wing youths, opposed to what they perceive to be the new face of fascism, form a resistance movement to rid the country of unwelcome imperialist influence. However, it is often said that one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, so the viewer is left to decide whether these aren't simply criminals who have hijacked an ideology to legitimise their cause. Led by Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Martina Gedeck), and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek), the group, calling itself the Red Army Faction, unleashes a wave of murderous bombings on the German capital that threatens to destabilise the country's fledgling democracy. But in their zeal to impose their own vision for a better Germany, and by employing terror tactics, the youths lose sight of the very thing they're fighting for. Hot on their trail is chief of police Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz), a man who understands the extremist mindset only too well and who will stop at nothing to end their reign of terror. <BR>Director Uli Edel assembles an impressive cast for this adaptation of Stefan Aust's non-fiction book. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2009 Academy Awards.

    an historical attempt

    a kind of docudrama -ish but the screen play is weak for these complex characters and pie in the sky subject Who did what was usually blurred and left to the viewers . Director is no Oliver Stone or Milosh Foreman probably come from TV a very standard story in German Cinema

    A piece of already forgotten history

    I was too young to know exactly what the events in Europe in the late sixties and early seventies meant but the Baader Meinhof certainly had news presence at the time. I found this rendering of events to be entertaining (not sure if that’s the right word) and informative. Worth a view but not with the kids.
