Germany in Autumn does not have a plot per se; it mixes documentary footage, along with standard movie scenes, to give the audience the mood of Germany during the late 1970s. The movie covers the two month time period during 1977 when a businessman was kidnapped, and later murdered, by the left-wing terrorists known as the RAF-Rote Armee Fraktion (Red Army Fraction). The businessman had been kidnapped in an effort to secure the release of the orginal leaders of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. When the kidnapping effort and a plane hijacking effort failed, the three most prominent leaders of the RAF, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe, all committed suicide in prison. It has become an article of faith within the left-wing community that these three were actually murdered by the state. close

Description: This film is an explanation in the love of the director to his generation - sixties, his time - 60 years. This time was different – joyful and sad, jubilant and sad, but the main thing in it was youth and purity. And the sense of freedom is unusual, but so desirable and necessary. That was the time of the rise of poetry and the Polytechnic, the time of the “Ilyich Outpost” and the theater “Contemporary”, the dispute between physicists and lyricists, the flight of Yuri Gagarin. But it was also the time of the “bulldozer exhibition”, stacked on the shelf of films and closed performances. And as a symbol of strangled freedom – the ruins of the old “Contemporary”. Hopes, dreams of happiness, everything seemed to be over. But there remains the brotherhood of the sixties, which continues to live in those who come to replace them. XX century. Time papers.

A Latin palindrome is the title of Guy Debord's last film, in which he, as narrator, explains that he will make neither concessions to the tastes of his viewers nor to the dominant ideas of his day. After extensively insulting the audience that goes to the cinema to forget its heteronomous life, the film becomes autobiographical, using images from the world of spectacle: advertising brochures, clips from feature films (Les enfants du paradis), comics, aerial footage of Paris, tracking shots through Venice, photographs of friends – all commented on by Debord, with an at times melancholy undertone: "This Paris no longer exists." His assessment is that one of the great pleasures of his life has been the sensation of the passage of time, and as a witness to the disintegration of social order, he has loved his epoch. close
