Sinopsis(1)

16-year-old Erik's life is tainted by violence and conflict. When he is expelled from school, he is sent to the boarding school Stjärnsberg as a last chance to break free from his old life and continue his studies. But Stjärnsberg is hardly a refuge - here evil is systemized in the form of a condoned oppression of younger students by the older ones. Can Erik revolt against the harassments without breaking the rules and risking being expelled? Can he maintain dignity without being drawn into the violent spiral that is threatening his entire future? (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

español Lo único que socava un poco esta película es el entorno temporal poco claro. Para que los eventos no parezcan poco realistas y exagerados desde el punto de vista actual, utiliza música similar a la de que suena a Herrmann y está ambientada en la posguerra. Sin embargo, así como el aspecto técnico de la película, corresponden a la actualidad para resultar atractiva para el público adolescente (más perceptivo) de hoy, para quien puede convertirse en la película de sus sueños. Sin embargo, si miramos más allá de estas inconsistencias, Evil se convierte en un drama emocionalmente poderoso y perfectamente rodado (hermoso trabajo de cámara), con elenco y actuación de primera, cuyo aspecto formalista coincide con el de las mejores producciones de Hollywood.

inglés I have to say that I expected something a bit more emotional. Klass, a film that deals with a similar topic, was a lot more interesting because the situation in Czech grammar schools is more similar in it than in the boy’s boarding school in Evil, i.e. I could relate better (and to be honest, I don’t believe something like this can happen in civilised Europe). Of course, it did arouse some emotions too, but compared to Klass, the enjoyment is barely half. ()

inglés If Harry Potter weren’t a fantasy, this could be its perfect “bully" adaptation. I felt each one of those blows physically, which I think is a first for a movie. And if Andreas Wilson wasn’t just acting himself, then he is the most talented actor I know right now. Personally, I would have ended it with the fadeout as the door closes behind him and his step-father. What follows it just SO terribly unnecessary... ()

inglés This Swedish gem easily ranks among my top ten favorite (most precious) films. I can't describe it, nor can I pinpoint exactly what makes Evil so special and brilliant for me in perhaps every respect. Part of it may be that, although it is not only a powerful but also a rather cruel drama, I didn't feel "manipulated" and pitifully begged for sympathy for the main character throughout the entire film. In short, the entire film is conceived as one very harsh human fate (a punishment all too disproportionate to the initial transgression) that the vast majority would buckle under, which is (un)fortunately not the case for Erik Ponti. The overall attitude or character of the protagonist – especially his "proud defiance" – struck me as almost "Promethean" at times, and I wouldn't be afraid to compare his unshakable endurance and resistance to higher "authorities" and arbitrariness to ancient heroism. However, the character of Erik goes even further in his struggle than the ancient heroes and is thus much closer to the Prometheus of the 19th century, who (unlike the ancient myth) in P.B. Shelley's did not submit to malice and proudly resists it to the end. I hope I didn't get too carried away by that literary interlude. ;) ()
