Die dritte Generation (1979)

Die dritte Generation (1979), a lesser-known work by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, takes place in the 1970s during the height of German leftist terrorism against so-called capitalist oppression. A middle-aged couple, consumed by a dreary, inert lifestyle, is recruited into a terrorist faction by a faceless benefactor. Little do they know, the man paying the bills is a wealthy business owner trying to drum up business for his high-end security systems. What starts out as a lark quickly becomes a tragedy. By all means, do not miss the absolutely sublime Y Sa Lo, who ambles around the house completely starkers for several glorious minutes.
