Baader Meinhof Complex, Uli Edel

Two and half hours long, and in German with English subtitles: recipe for a tedious evening. Instead, this movie completely mezmerized me with its story of 1970s young West German radicals determined not to repeat the complacency of their parents. The film traces how some moved beyond protests and verbal denunciations of the West German regime to terrorism.

Highly recommend.
