Die Dritte Generation (1979)
Displaying a sense of humor that can most kindly be described as perverse, Fassbinder follows the exploits of a group of well-heeled German terrorists. Without truly taking sides, the director demonstrates how the terrorists are essentially shooting themselves in the foot. The more havoc they spread, the tighter the government restrictions against other radicals. (All Movie Guide)

doesn't make much sense; what you call sensory overload and sound design, i call a terrible headache

the world of moons was a slaughterhouse, now it's a public toilet. instinctively it makes complete sense that he'd need to follow that film + maria by spreading his cheeks and spraying the walls with this fucking thing.

a humorous approach to the content and possible negation of supposed radicality of the text's politics is negated by the political commentary infusing the formal interventions in the film.

The results of radical leftists becoming their own worst enemy. Ironically, change and justice are fulfilled by it's opposing capitalist leaders. They take a stand in the newer age of liberal communism, having systemics of the right, but plea-ing for the people and more importantly providing charitable funds. Fassbinder is playful and clear with his end joke.

Hoje é aniversário de 75 anos de uma das minhas mais queridas divas do cinema: Udo Kier! Não temos Bacurau, mas nos resta Fassbinder, muito embora esse Fassbinder não seja pra mim. Supostamente uma sátira ao Grupo Baader-Meinhof, é uma visão totalmente equivocada da ação combativa em que a mesma seria manipulada pelo capital, mas tudo que acaba indicado é o pensamento pequeno-burguês do diretor. De novo, eu preferiria ter assistido Bacurau em honra do Udo Kier. BlurayRip no MakingOff

In which Fassbinder almost manages to out-Godard Godard (it's sort of somewhere between Fassbinder's take on Week-End and an uncanny precursor to '80s Godard, particularly Prenom Carmen), although as always with him he's sort of not great at endings (or rather, here the majority of the film is so good that the last twenty minutes feel sort of haphazard by comparison). There's intentionally so much going on that it feels constantly claustrophobic, but i think the density is part of the appeal.

"I recently had a dream that capitalism invented terrorism to force the state to protect it better. Very funny, isn't it?"

Fassbinder seems torn between making this meaningful and the suspense from the middle on that I don't want from him.

This admittedly absurdist drama (definitely not comedy) is exceptionally dense and difficult to watch. I find the first half to be a cinematographic triumph, immensely intelligent and very rewarding, but the second half waned and became less and less effective.

Incomprehensible twaddle about a new generation of bourgeois and shallow 'terrorists'. One of the least funny comedies I've seen, and even less interesting.
