"we" in the competition

The beginnings of German terrorism as a romantic drama

"Who if not us," the first feature film by Andrea Veiel

Berlin. What is private, what politically? This question has and has always politically active people, of course, left the protest of the sixties and seventies in the Federal Republic. The topics in "Who if not us," the complex feature film debut of award-winning documentary filmmaker Andres Veiel ("Balagan," "Black Box BRD", "The Kick"), are are relationship and commitment of Gudrun Ensslin and Bernward Vesper, private and political. "Who if not us" was last night in competition at the Berlinale - almost as an antidote to 'My best enemy "by Wolfgang Murnberger, which lead trust managed as a comedy with Moritz as a Jewish art dealer in SS uniform, remember to concentration camps, Holocaust and World War II almost completely

the scenes. beatings-Persians, and police in courting the Persian Shah in 1967 in Berlin, the intersection of "Who if not us" with Eichinger's "RAF". But Veiel look behind the stereotypes behind the phrases of the radicalized pastor's daughter (no, not the one that is meant Ensslin). Siezst early sixties people still at university and elsewhere, even young men (he) wearing ties and everywhere, smoking cigarettes. Bernward Vesper (August Diehl) will begin his studies in Tübingen, discussed, and dined with Walter Jens. The dedicated student with Vesper, however, a heavy burden, his revered father Will was great writers of the Nazis, greeting verses wrote to the leaders. While Bernward Papas works will bring out in the way established publishing again, he developed a passion for left writers and ideas. In it, he found the fellow student Gudrun Ensslin (Lena Lauzemis), which will soon roommate, friend, translator and secretary. Another friend runs the same with one, because "why do shrink a triangle always to the straight line?" With these awards is Gudrun is still open, but on Bernward loves it reacts again with radical self-injury. After 1964 Bernward and Gudrun in Western Berlin part of the extra-parliamentary opposition. But then there's a party of Andreas Baader (Alexander Fehling). A sassy proletarian, a macho with a thick slide and ego, a man of action, while Bern Ward wants to change society with his books.

"Who if not us" is based on the nonfiction "Vesper, Ensslin, Baader - primal scenes of German terrorism" by Gerd Koenen. Exact primal scenes such traces Veiel with successful staging and a great spectacle: the development of young people. Gudrun Ensslin has been tough young face and expression. But tears only when Baader with the phone cable to connect to her son from the wall, years later, at least formally end the conflicts of the now official terrorist. Without documentation comes from Veiel Also today, the successful integration into world politics well with historical material and super features. It is observed but most of all the nuances of personal and political actions. Although the film ends in the tragedy of a desperate lover, keep political analysis and personal compassion the scales away Veiel this detailed tracing by means of the fiction never feeling great, the other set centrally as Maxim of entertainment. An interesting balance between the political and personal, which is probably more interesting for German viewers. As a big favorite to win the Golden Bear still dominated but the drama of guilt and Sharia "Nader And Simin, A Separation of Iranian Asghar Farhadi (" About Elly ") produced in the dry level of a meager competition.
