Es una adaptación de la novela autobiográfica Las tribulaciones del joven Törless de Robert Musil, que trata sobre dos adolescentes que se deleitan en la tortura y humillación de un joven de origen judío en una academia militar en Austria a principios del siglo XX. Aunque el joven Törless no participa activamente en la tortura, y prefiere permanecer como testigo impasible, pronto se da cuenta que es tan culpable como sus compañeros.

(más)Reseñas (1)
Fragments of students’ life in Austro-Hungarian student residence dorm tied together by the philosophical perplexities of a young man, Törless. If it weren’t for the excellent final sequence, the movie has otherwise very little to grab the attention, even though it is hard to fault it for anything either. It lacks any distinct positive aspects, but also any shortcomings. The actors are good (mainly the one who plays von Basini), the viewer must be prepared for a certain amount of sluggishness and the environment and the relationships amongst students were depicted realistically. Considering this is Schlöndorff’s debut, it isn’t bad, just somehow… bland.
