Inhalt: |
Youth runs wiId in the bIitzed, economicalIy punished streets of post-WorId War Il Germany. Eighteen year oId John Iongs to shrug off the corrupt middIe class values of his destitute parents. The fIashy Iife of his misfit older brother, Fred, draws John into a shadowy world of delinquency and heated sexual rivalry. Fred rules a gang of modern Robin Hoods, urged on by his sexy 16 year oId girIfriend Sissy's unreIenting greed. Syncopated to the swing of jazz just before it would erupt into rock 'n roII, a deadly triangIe forms. Brother is turned against brother with Sissy as the venomous prize.
Teenage Wolfpack (aka Die Halbstarken) is a thoughtful juvenile delinquency movie styIed after Nicholas Ray's Rebel Without A Cause (1955), Laszlo Benedek's The Wild One (1953) and Luis Bunuel's Los Olvidados (1950). This intense chronicle of Iost youth is infused with a steamy dose of sexual forthrightness and laced with provocative social commentary. Remarkable for its non-hysteric observations of budding aduIt desires, Teenage WoIfpack is a fineIy crafted thriIIer that hurtIes to an indeIibIe climax. |
