L'heure de la sortie
School's Out
Schule, das ist der Ort, an dem Jugendliche zu sich selber finden und fürs Leben lernen sollen. Gerade in Frankreich mit seinem elitären Schulsystem ist es aber vor allem ein Ort, an dem entschieden wird, wer einmal die Geschicke des Landes leiten soll. Was aber, wenn diese Jugendlichen erkennen, dass man sie betrogen hat? Alle reden über ihre großartigen Perspektiven, obwohl sie doch sehen, dass die Welt keine Zukunft mehr hat. - In der flirrenden Hitze eines Hochsommers geht der Lehrer durch die Reihen der Schüler auf das Fenster zu und springt. So beginnt L’heure de la sortie von Sébastien Marnier. (Lucia Wiedergrün, kino-zeit.de)
A high school teacher throws himself from the classroom window before the terrified eyes of his students. Despite the tragedy, six of them remain oddly cool and unemotional. Pierre, the new substitute teacher, notices the hostile behaviour of this close-knit clique. Smart and precocious, the six teenagers seem to be preparing a mysterious plan after school. Pierre becomes obsessed with them and is quickly sucked into their sinister game. His life soon turns into a nightmare. (Venice Film Festival) "Do we always have to wait for a catastrophe to occur before our collective conscience can begin taking shape?“ (Sébastien Marnier)
