The Edukators
Three anti-capitalist activists kidnap a wealthy businessman, only to be confounded when he declares his own radical past.
Drama 2004 124 mins
Director: Hans Weingartner
Overview
Three anti-capitalist activists kidnap a wealthy businessman and take him to a remote Alpine cabin, only for tensions in the terrorists’ tense love triangle to surface. When their prey begins to confess to his own radical past it only confuses matters even further.
Daniel Brühl (Good Bye Lenin!, Rush) stars in this piercing, thrilling, yet humorous insight into the pathology of radicalism and how the obligatory onset of conventionalism gets us all in the end.
