 | This psychological drama unfolds in a modern day, somewhat leftist, middle class German high school where a well-meaning teacher attempts to demonstrate how a fascist society could re-emerge in that country. At first, the movie just seems to be about some spoiled students and their casual approach to meaningful values but we soon see that these kids do wish to find themselves and their relationship to society. Soon, we, along with the students, get caught up in a rivetting display of how the suppression of individuality can lead one to be seduced into fascism. In the end, we aren't sure if the teacher hasn't also got himself carried away in the mania. The conclusion is absolutely shocking and will give you something to chew on for quite a while.
