criticism
“My personal highlight this year was THE TEST. by director Claudio Franke. Technically flawless, cleanly played, crisp length and a bitterly evil ending. BRAVO!"
"The society that Claudio Franke designs in his film the exam has the oppressive atmosphere of a repressive system, and when twelve-year-old Léon (Valentin Teufel) is called to the compulsory test, which is intended for this age, his parents (Melanie Herbe, Markus Knüfken) worried about the announcement of the result. This coolly staged, futuristic-looking film is based on the short story Examination Day by Henry Slesar and was shown in June on the TV channel Sky. The exam is the first independent work of the young filmmaker Claudio Franke, whose brother Adrian composed the film music for it. "
