Fetten Jahre Sind Vorbei The Edukators [videorecording]= Hans Weingartner - Germany IFC Films 2005 - 1 videodisc (ca. 130 min.) sound, color. 4 3/4 in.
Three radical activists like to make their point by breaking into the homes of the wealthy, rearranging their belongings and leaving cryptic messages. When one such break-in goes wrong, they are forced to kidnap a wealthy businessman.
From Case Cover:
Jan (Daniel Bruhl, Ladies in Lavender, Good Bye Lenin!) and Peter are the best friends behind the radical and mysterious group The Edukators, united by their passion to change the world, in "The funniest, most original movie I've seen all year" (David Edwards, The Daily Mirror) When the rich go on vacation, The Edukators break into their homes. They don't steal, but simply rearrange everything, leaving the message "Your days of plenty are numbered." When Peter's girlfriend Jule (Julia Jentsch, Downfall, winner, Best Young Actress, 2005 Bavarian Film Awards) moves in, she joins them in their subversive activities. But when a rich businessman catches them in the act, they rashly decide to kidnap him. Faced with the values of the generation in power, they will see what kind of revolutionaries they are, if their friendship can survive, and discover if they truly work in the interest of the greater good, or just in their own self-interest. Passions rage and loyalties shatter in director Hans Weingartner's exciting film that's "Fresh, biting, gripping, tender, and tense." (The Telegraph On Sunday )
DVD video; Dolby Digital 5.1; surround, NTSC, Regions 1; 1.85:1 as 16:9 widescreen.
