The film by award-winning German director Dennis Gansel is based on Morton Ruhe's novel Die Welle (The Wave) a classic of children's literature. It is a work of fiction, but inspired by a true fact. The original experiment was conducted in 1967 by Ron Jones, a history teacher at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, Calif.
The film is set in present-day Germany. During drill week, a high school teacher proposes an experiment to show his students how a totalitarian government works. Thus begins a role-playing game with tragic consequences. Within a few weeks, what began as a harmless illustration of concepts such as discipline and community turns into a full-fledged ‘movement’ - The Wave. By the third day, students begin to ostracize and threaten others. And when the conflict finally explodes in all its violence, the teacher decides to stop the experiment. But by then it is too late, the Wave has gotten out of her control....
Sunday, December 1, always at 18.00, the review will continue with the film “We are infinite.” (USA 2012) by Stephen Chbosky, with Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, Mae Withman. The film tells the story of a seemingly normal, quiet boy who loves to read. At school he meets two new friends, who take him to an unexplored world: parties, trips, and fun that make him forget those sorrows of which everyone has been a victim. The film is based on a ’99 novel by the director himself, who knows how to bring teenage emotions to the screen and paper.
The review will close on January 15 with “Hay Fever” (Italy 2011), the first feature film by the young Italian director and screenwriter Laura Luchetti, with Andrea Bosca, Diane Fleri, Giulia Michelini, Giuseppe Gandini. The film is set in Rome. Camilla falls in love with Matteo the first time she sees him, against the light, as the doors of the ambulance that rescued her after a moped accident close. Matteo, however, is still thinking about Giovanna, his ex-girlfriend. Together, Matteo and Camilla work in a modern and vintage clothing store, Twinkled. With them are Stefano, the owner, in crisis with his wife and with debts to pay off, and Franki, who writes beautiful love letters to an impossible man. The film's narrator is Diane Fleri, the interpreter of Camilla, but it is Matteo (Andrea Bosca) who is the story's protagonist, the literal witness (starting at a certain point) to the energy that love feeling can set in motion when it makes its way, propelled by the Roman Ponentino that rewrites the existences of those who give in to it and those who resist, losing the ride forever. The director Laura Luchetti and the actor Andrea Bosca will be present to the screening and final discussion.
Film viewing will be free and open to all. The post-screening talk is for children only.{:}
