Description:

"Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" is a riveting historical drama that delves into the turbulent political landscape from 1967 to the chilling "Deutschen Herbst" in 1977. The film draws heavily on Stefan Aust's seminal work on the Red Army Faction (RAF), providing an insightful and immersive portrayal of a tumultuous era in German history. At its core, the story revolves around the leadership trio of Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, and Gudrun Ensslin - individuals who self-proclaimed themselves as an anti-fascist resistance against state violence. The movie masterfully captures the atmosphere of unrest while shedding light on complex societal issues that fueled the rise of RAF and their radical actions in the face of a rapidly changing political landscape.
