BAADER

In the organizer's words:

"Lichtspiele Kalk" show in the film series "something weird cinema"...
Rapid Eye Movies "Timeless" #17
BAADER
Director: Christopher Roth
Germany 2002 | 110 min. | DCP | FSK 12

"Provocative, well worth seeing and challenging in the way BAADER looks at radical iconography and the individual's responsibility for history." Time Out Film Guide

"Christopher Roth's truth is a different one. The director wants to make something tangible of the attitude to life that allowed intelligent people to slide into terrorism. By presenting his characters Baader, Ensslin, Meinhof (Frank Giering, Laura Tonke, Birge Schade, all excellent) as young, somewhat confused but not fundamentally unsympathetic people, showing sketches of their lives that are invented in detail but basically follow actual events, he draws attention to surprising things: All of a sudden you discover that these enemies of capitalism were into fast cars and liked to wear corduroy jackets and sunglasses." Rüdiger Suchsland, artechock (2007)
