Quote:

In 1960s and 70s Germany, as an entire generation of young people sought to orient themselves on different influences and models than their parents’ Nazi-influenced past, disenchantment and social unrest were prevalent. Despite denazification, ex-Nazis held powerful positions in government and business. Ninety-five percent of the Bundestag in the late 60s was controlled by a coalition of the SPD and CDU headed by former Nazi Party member Kurt Georg Kiesinger.

The police killing of a peaceful protester in the Summer of 1967 sparked the beginning of violent actions by radicals known as the Red Army Fraction (RAF). The RAF quickly became the biggest challenge the West German government ever faced, culminating in a series of high-profile kidnappings and murders in the Fall of 1977 that shook the underpinnings of German society and spawned a number of conspiracy theories and widespread anger at the government’s response.

Volker Schlöndorff - Der Fangschuß AKA Coup de Grâce (1976)

http://www.utoronto.ca/stmikes/kelly/images/coupdegrace.jpg

Latvia, 1919: the end of the Russian Civil War. An aristocratic young woman becomes involved with a sexually repressed Prussian soldier. When she is rejected by her love, the young woman is sent into a downward spiral of psychosexual depression, promiscuity, and revolutionary collaboration. A startling tale of heartbreak and violence set against the backdrop of bloody revolution, Volker Schlondorff's Coup de grâce is a powerful film that explores the interrelation of private passion and political commitment.

Quote:

When Katharina Blum spends the night with an alleged terrorist, her quiet, ordered life falls into ruins. Suddenly a suspect, Katharina is subject to a vicious smear campaign by the police and a ruthless tabloid journalist, testing the limits of her dignity and her sanity. Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta’s powerful adaptation of Heinrich Böll’s novel is a stinging commentary on state power, individual freedom, and media manipulation––as relevant today as on the day of its release in 1975.
