August 21st at the Angelika New York and September 18 at the Angelikas Dallas & Houston.

Featuring THE LIVES OF OTHERS star Martina Gedeck, THE BAADER MEINHOF COMLEX is a riveting, powerful, gritty account of Germany’s Red Army Faction (RAF), its initial aims and violent spiral.

BAFTA Film Award nominee Uli Edel directs this Academy Award-nominated adaptation of Stefan Aust’s best-selling book of the same title. Chronicling the initial ambitions of the RAF and the group’s resulting robberies, kidnappings and bombings, THE BAADER MEINHOF COMPLEX follows three of its prominent members: journalist Ulrike Meinhof (Gedeck), organizers Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) on a journey that destroys the very humanity they seek to reclaim.

As reviewed in the New York Times, THE COVE (currently playing at the Angelika New York) “…is a Trojan horse: an exceptionally well-made documentary that unfolds like a spy thriller, complete with bugged hotel rooms, clandestine derring-do and mysterious men in gray flannel suits.”

Following director Louie Psihoyos (whose photos have appeared in many issues of National Geographic) and his team into dangerous waters, THE COVE sets out to uncover the shocking mysteries of a hidden dolphin cove in Japan.
