Baader (2001)
Director: Christoph Roth
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This fast-paced, stylish and highly controversial biopic of the West German terrorist leader Andreas Baader (Giering) occasionally plays fast and loose with the narrative of his life and death, both to capture the spirit of a contradictory personality and to interrogate the self-image he projected, one as central to his own sense of self as to that of post-war German history. The action covers his founding role in the Baader-Meinhof group between 1967-72. Provocative, highly watchable and challenging in how it considers radical iconography and the individual's responsibility to history, this is a significant work reflecting, 30 years on, the still debated key political period.Author: GE
