Der Baader Meinhof Komplex

I love to see a shamed director make a triumphant comeback! "Last Exit to Brooklyn" director Ulli Edel was all but ruined by the Madonna vehicle "Body of Evidence" WAY back in 1993. Despite some laudable television work that followed (Homicide: Life on the Street, Oz), this saga of Germany's Red Army Faction is his strong comeback to feature films. This party & riot sequence from the film's open introduces the central theme of how groups derive smug certainty from the reinforcement of their peers.
