German cinema is the one that fascinates me the most when it comes to European cinema, because it proves that less is more. Maybe The Baader-Meinhof Complex isn't as powerful as The Edukators which was given to us a few years back, but it's still a near-maste...( read more)

Interesting and complex labour of love from Edel which demands a lot from the viewer with its historical sweep. It is long and the pace varies dramatically but you will learn a lot about the subject.

The true story of terror attacks in Germany of the 1960s and 70s, performed by left extremists of the Red Army Fraction. While the movie is already two and a half hours long, it would have needed even another hour to deliver the background for people not familiar with this part o...( read more)
good movie to watch charting the rise and fall of the late german terorist group sub titles but worth a watch

Kick-ass political thriller about the terrorist group, RAF, who ran riot in 1960's Germany. The movie really had a lot of style and was shot with that gritty style similar to Munich. It's a long film and it gets through a tonne of history so you feel a bit bombarded by the vast...( read more)
