The Revolution Will Be Shown in Multiplexes. - The Edukators review by Steve

Spoiler Alert
23/09/2014

Anti consumerism parable that wonders what happened to the idealism of the German post war generation while aiming for the hearts of the noughties diy anti capitalist movements. OK, it looks like the revolution will be sponsored by GAP, but at least it doesn't compromise on its recycled message: don't trust anyone over thirty.

Excellent and Enjoyable German drama about political idealism - The Edukators review by PV

Spoiler Alert
20/07/2024

This German film was an excellent watch.

Suspend your disbelief (pretend DNA and CCT does not exist in 2004) esp with plot holes, unlikely events, and random coincidences and roll with it.

The leftwing revolution theme and throwback to 1968 and 1970s activism is VERY German, as is the alpine snowy scenery. In Britain we lack snowy mountain ranges and back in the 1970s we were all Wombles and Wurzels rather than Baader Meinhof and Karl Marx...

Very well acted by all the leads, Daniel Bruhl has done loads since, DAS BOOT series and more.

Decent music too. My only criticism is it is a tad too long, sags in the middle and too many romance scenes which are flab - could be reduced by 20 minutes probably if the unnecessary love-gushing is dispensed with.

The ending twist (no spoilers) is fun, however unlikely.

4 stars overall
