Original German Poster (24×33) for the Rainer Werner Fassbinder crime comedy, DIE DRITTE GENERATION (1979) starring Harry Baer, Hark Bohm, and Margit Carstensen. The story revolves around a mogul who funds terrorists to boost his security sytems sales and also cause the government to resort to more authoritarian measures to counter the violence. The film is critical of the bourgeois values of both the industrialists and the terrorists. Besides the weird visual quality of the interior scenes, the soundtrack has a constant drone of TV news coverage in the background, which competes with the dialogue at every turn. The film reflects Fassbinder’s increasing alienation from violent leftist groups in Germany. This original German poster is rolled and in very fine plus condition.
