Summary
Much praised on the festival circuit, this German film is about three friends who, in the Sixties, would probably have been members of the Baader-Meinhof revolutionary gang. Now they call themselves the Edukators. In one instance, a middleclass family return home from holiday to find their possessions rearranged and a note telling them that their days of plenty are numbered. There's no stealing and no violence. But the friends go too far when they abduct a wealthy local businessman. Should they kill him or hold him to ransom? It's no longer youthful high jinks with a radical tinge.
Daniel Bruhl (far right, with Julia Jentsch and Stipe Erceg), the pinup boy of German cinema after Good Bye Lenin!, and the able Jentsch make good leads.See the full content of this document
