A little ridiculous

A teacher begins a group on the concept of Autocracy and goes about (innocently) getting his students to conform.

Things get out of hand, in a very predictable fashion.

Essentially belonging to a group can be delightful, yet castigating and ignoring outsiders has it's drawbacks. Well done indeed.

The fact that this is German lends some credence but this feels like it relies far too much on the subjects (and possibly the audience too) being teenagers, as it really feels like a lot of teenagers acting like teenagers -- one of the initial group drops out simply because the 'uniform' doesn't suit her -- and the many expected graffiti and partying scenes get annoying very quickly.

The concept is still largely unbelievable in a modern world, and the script does little to convince otherwise.

score 4/10
