Deutschland im Herbst

Meandering docudrama is frustratingly unfocused and unsatisfying, despite the interesting philosophical ideas running throughout the film, especially dealing with the subjective nature of morality and the after-effects of sudden violence. The multitude of directors means the inevitable abrupt switches in tone are a little disorienting; more problematic is the best (and most intriguing) segment is the first, with Fassbinder in his element as both director and bleary star.

Here's to you Nicola and Bart/Rest forever here in our hearts/The last and final moment is yours/That agony is your triumph.

Alemanha no Outono estreava há 45 anos no Festival de Berlin. Até a a presente data este me parece o filme mais interessante sobre a questão Baader Meinhof, ao lado obviamente da obra-prima da Von Trotta, Anos de Chumbo. Misto de documentário com ficção, achei particularmente brilhante a alusão à Antigona e a impossibilidade de um enterro digno dos rebeldes. Box Versátil Novo Cinema Alemão.
