Based on the book of the same name, this movie follows the story of the Red Army Faction from 1967 to 1977. This is a gritty, no-holds-barred movie that will have you glued to the screen if you have no previous knowledge of the events that took place in a 10 year span in Germany. For Americans it will be difficult to imagine something like this happening here, but I'm sure some great nudity from Martina Gedeck, Susanne Bormann, Nadja Uhl and Johanna Wokalek will make it go down a bit easier.

ner of the 2006 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, this German drama is set in 1984 East Berlin, where a Stasi officer (Ulrich Muhe) bugs the apartment occupied by a notoriously non-subversive playwright (Sebastian Koch) and his actress girlfriend (Martina Gedeck). Intrigued by the couple's lives, Muhe faces an unexpected crisis of conscience when his superior (Thomas Thieme) becomes enamored with Gedeck and orders him to frame Koch, despite the absence of damning evidence of any kind. Also starring Gabi Fleming.
