Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder • 1979 • West Germany
Starring Harry Baer, Hark Bohm, Margit Carstensen
Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s follow-up to his international breakthrough THE MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN is a wildly anarchic satire of guerrilla terrorism in which a band of leftist radicals inadvertently become puppets of the West German government, which uses them to justify its authoritarian policies. Taking aim at the entire spectrum of political ideologies, THE THIRD GENERATION stands as one of Fassbinder’s most provocative and explosively controversial explorations of power and control.
