- Synopsis:
- One of Fassbinder's most controversial films, ‘The Third Generation' is a savage and absurdist satire about a group of incompetent bourgeois terrorists, for whom violent radicalism has become a s lifestyle. The group kidnap a well-connected businessman but are soon divided by in-fighting and paranoia. A provocative indictment of the Baader-Meinhoff urban terrorists of the 70s, Fassbinder’s film mocks his protagonists’ moral and ideological fallibilities with grotesque visual and perverse humour.

Love this - The Third Generation review by sb
I really enjoy Fassbinder films
Never thought I would ,,
Great to be made to change my perception on what I want to watch..
Fascinating
Like Bergman it draws you in and like Godard- as well- it relies on good acting and characters above and beyond big expense and great sets and effects..
