Armin Meier est un acteur allemand né en 1943, mort le 31 mai 1978 à Munich.

Biography

Meier fait la connaissance de Fassbinder, qui a ses habitudes à l'hôtel Deutsche Eiche en 1974, dont le bar est fréquenté par des artistes et des homosexuels. Ce dernier le fait tourner dans plusieurs de ses films et devient son amant. Lorsque leur relation cesse, après le tournage de L'Allemagne en automne, et au moment où sort Le Mariage de Maria Braun en avant-première au festival de Cannes, Meier se suicide par absorption massive de barbituriques, le jour de l'anniversaire de Fassbinder. Deux mois plus tard, c'est avec difficulté que Fassbinder, affecté par la mort de son ex-amant, commence le tournage de L'Année des treize lunes, dont la première scène est celle d'une pénible rupture.

Hermann Hermann is a successful entrepreneur in the 1930s Germany. As the Nazis gradually rise to power, Hermann, who is a Russian émigré, becomes increasingly frightened and mentally unstable. His attempts at leaving the country are accompanied by symptoms of madness, the most vivid being his belief that he found his exact double, although the person in question differs from him in every respect. He creates an elaborate plan that would allow him to flee to Switzerland, but it soon becomes unclear whether his voyage leads him to a neutral country or merely allows him to take refuge in his madness.

Automne allemand 1977, la Fraction armée rouge (RAF) terrorise la République fédérale d’Allemagne pour libérer ses figures historiques. Deux célébrations de funérailles à deux jours d'intervalle à Stuttgart ponctuent le récit. La première est l'enterrement du patron des patrons, exécuté par les terroristes de la RAF après la nuit de la mort de leurs leaders retrouvés suicidés dans leurs cellules de Stammheim quelques heures après l'annonce de la libération des otages du détournement du Landshut. La seconde est l'enterrement des suicidés de Stammheim sous haute surveillance policière. Dix réalisateurs du nouveau cinéma allemand témoignent de cette accélération des événements en mettant en scène des fictions et courts documentaires historiques pour restituer le climat de terreur quotidienne inspirée par la RAF tout en s'interrogeant sur la pression étatique nécessaire à la traque de terroristes dans un pays démocratique.
