The Baader Meinhof Complex, directed by Uli Edel, revisits the key figures of the Baader group and the various factions of the Red Army Faction (RAF). The film is not easy to follow: it features a large number of characters and requires the viewer to constantly recontextualize the action within its historical period. Fortunately, some background research—Wikipedia proved helpful in this regard—makes it easier to grasp the events depicted, and the film remains largely faithful to historical reality. Overall, it is a solid film, though lengthy and at times difficult to fully comprehend.

They take too many things for granted.

I have now watched this movie several times over many years and I'm always fascinated how authentically the story of the "==Baader-Meinhof-Group==" was shown. I was a teenager at the time of the "==RAF groupings==" and still remember many media reports well. Nowadays to understand the connections conclusively enriches me very much! Many thanks to _Stefan Aust_ (novel) and the german **Movie-Guru** _Bernd Eichinger_ (screenplay). `[8/10]`

The original title of the film is Der Baader Meinhof Komplex.
