Teenage Angst is a low-budget production by director Thomas Stuber . The film was shown for the first time on February 9, 2008 at the Berlinale in the Perspective category and was released a year later, on January 29, 2009.
action
Four students from an elite boarding school who have formed a clique sneak out of the boarding school after school to get drunk and party. They seek extremes in order to escape their golden cage into which they were put or deported by their wealthy parents.
At their celebrations there are excesses of violence, which are directed primarily against the weakest member of the group, Leibnitz. Dyrbusch, the leader of the group, and Bogatsch, his “executive force”, do not stop torturing Leibnitz more and more violently, which Leibnitz suffers because he fears the loss of their “friendship” and being expelled from the group.
Constantine, the follower, is the only one in the group who understands the moral dimension of their actions. But he hesitates to stand against the others. Because of this, they get deeper and deeper into a spiral of violence until what must happen happens.
useful information
The subject of the film had already been dealt with literarily 100 years earlier, in the 1906 novel The Confusions of the Zöglings Törless , by Robert Musil . The script works with speaking names . It is certainly no coincidence that the boarding school student with the least physical training was named after a philosopher, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz . The name of his tormentor Bogatsch, on the other hand, is reminiscent of SS-Oberscharführer Wilhelm Boger , who was notorious for his cruelty and whom Peter Weiss made "famous" with the play The Investigation .
