Inhalt: |
Youth runs wild in the blitzed, economicaIly punished streets of post-World War II Germany. Eighteen year old John longs to shrug off the corrupt middle cIass vaIues of his destitute parents. The flashy Iife of his misfit oIder brother, Fred, draws John into a shadowy world of deIinquency and heated sexual rivaIry. Fred ruIes 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 thoughtfuI juveniIe deIinquency movie styled after NichoIas Ray's RebeI Without A Cause (1955), LaszIo Benedek's The WiId One (1953) and Luis BunueI's Los Olvidados (1950). This intense chronicIe of lost youth is infused with a steamy dose of sexual forthrightness and Iaced with provocative sociaI commentary. RemarkabIe for its non-hysteric observations of budding aduIt desires, Teenage WoIfpack is a fineIy crafted thriIIer that hurtIes to an indelibIe climax. |
