Review
In Fassbinder's most controversial film he lampoons the moral and ideological fallibilities of bourgeois terrorists like the Baader-Meinhoff urban guerrillas of the 1970's. In The Third Generation, Fassbinder's protagonists kidnap a well-connected businessman but their plans go awry when internecine squabbling and paranoia sets in.
