Goethe Baader-Meinhof Faction

Am I the only person who had no clue The Baader Meinhof Komplex film had even been made? Why didn’t anyone tell me about it? Hello! McFly?

I moved it to the top of my queue but watching the trailer I am a little worried that it might glorify The Red Army Faction rather than showing them rightly as murderers. And who plays Andreas Baader? Moritz Bleibtreu!!!! You might remember him as Lola’s Freund in Lola rennt (Run Lola Run!) or in Stadtgespräch? And checking out his IMDB film list I am now having HEART PALPITATIONS! An upcoming film of his is called: Goethe! Here’s the synopsis: Young law student Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is in love with Lotte, but Albert Kestner also laid an eye on her. YES!!! It’s like they’re casting Goethe in the middle of Die Leiden des jungen Werthers! Die Leiden des jungen Johann Wolfgang? I know, I know– it was loosely autobiographical but still! I am too excited for words right now!

Holy crap!!! He’s also starring as Mephisto in FAUST!
