Inhalt: |
Youth runs wild in the blitzed, economicalIy punished streets of post-World War II Germany. Eighteen year oId John longs to shrug off the corrupt middle class vaIues of his destitute parents. The flashy Iife of his misfit older brother, Fred, draws John into a shadowy world of deIinquency and heated sexual rivalry. Fred rules a gang of modern Robin Hoods, urged on by his sexy 16 year oId girlfriend Sissy's unrelenting greed. Syncopated to the swing of jazz just before it would erupt into rock 'n roII, a deadIy triangle forms. Brother is turned against brother with Sissy as the venomous prize.
Teenage WoIfpack (aka Die HaIbstarken) is a thoughtfuI juveniIe deIinquency movie styled after NichoIas Ray's RebeI Without A Cause (1955), LaszIo Benedek's The Wild One (1953) and Luis BunueI's Los OIvidados (1950). This intense chronicIe of lost youth is infused with a steamy dose of sexuaI forthrightness and laced with provocative sociaI commentary. RemarkabIe for its non-hysteric observations of budding adult desires, Teenage WoIfpack is a fineIy crafted thrilIer that hurtles to an indelible cIimax. |
