The Terrorists
(Die Terroristen)

Screening on Film

Directed by Philip Gröning.
With David Baalcke, Stephanie Philipp, Michael Schech.
Germany, 1992, 35mm, color, 90 min.
German with English subtitles.

This idiosyncratic political film, winner of the Bronze Leopard at Locarno in 1993, focuses on greed and conspicuous consumption, and portrays its terrorist characters as bourgeois—motivated more by a prospective vacation than political conviction. Ideology, the film seems to suggest, is now dead, and its motivations suspect.
