Mini Movie Review: The Baader-Meinhof Complex (2008)

5 Words to Describe This Movie: Detailed, Harrowing, Informative, Provocative, Slick

Basic Plot: A retelling of the late '60s to mid '70s history of the first generation of the Red Army Faction, a German group of anti-Capitalist freedom fighters or Left-Wing terrorists, depending on your point of view.

In Summary: This is a stylish, fast-paced trip through a very interesting period in modern history. The movie's attention to events comes at the expense of character development, which doesn't take away from the film because there is so much going on. The story is told with an objectivity as to the rightness or wrongness of the subjects' actions. Watching this film was an enlightening experience for me.

My Rating: 8/10 ("Really Liked It")
