TEENAGE ANGST

Directed by Thomas Stuber

On the shores of a deceptively peaceful mountain lake, inside a picturesque castle-cum-boarding school, four bored boys from über-wealthy families create a clique. Desiring to break free from the gilded cage in which their parents have deposited them, they sneak off campus at night to party, skinny dip and play increasingly dangerous games. The stronger-willed boys lord it over the weaker ones, until inevitably, bad things start to happen.

“Thomas Stuber's TEENAGE ANGST has a terrific Hitchcockian sense of claustrophobia. A handful of handsome boys who attend a boarding school spookily similar to Colditz castle become dangerously obsessed by their own untouchable sense of power. Pure ROPE. The cocktail of brains, wealth, and arrogance is a potent and lethal brew. ”
James Christopher, TIMES ONLINE UK

“A glossy, alluring film! The performances by the quartet of handsome boys are equally fine!”
Gary Kramer, SAN FRANCISCO BAY TIMES

“A brooding teenager who joins in at first and then is more and more repulsed, (Franz) Dinda is the charismatic center of the film. ”
Christian Berndt, DEUTSCHLANDRADIO KULTUR

“TEENAGE ANGST, a movie alluring through the youth of its protagonists and the aspiration of adolescence... that is what makes this age an inexhaustible source for the big screen.”
Achim Podak, SCHWEIZER FERNSEHEN

“Student terror at an elite boarding school -- a highly emotional and nightmarish film! ”
Haraald Mühlbeyer, CINEFACTS
