La Décennie Rouge
Text * Michel Deutsch
Director * Michel Deutsch
Synopsis "We are living in times of terrorism and we are ignoring its history"
Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin are young and beautiful. They like high powered cars, guns, and they love each other. They look like the Nouvelle Vague actors. But the movie they are playing in is turning into a crime thriller, a polar in black and blood colours.
Ulrike Meinhof, a star journalist, who went underground, is playing Sainte-Therese. Baader and Ensslin are playing Bonnie & Clyde. A kind of intransigent and pure Avant-garde. MD
