Not obeying orders

Another fine example of the resurgent German cinema. Three idealists kidnap a German businessman, but then what they ask themselves? Ransom is against their principles, while the state, fearing a Baeder Meinhof comeback, take a dim view of such actions and respond accordingly. The story develops into something of a political thriller but one with the lightest of touches. A real delight, aided by superb use of Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah.
