Teresa Gereaux, gereaux@roanoke.edu false MM/DD/YYYYJoin us as we open our 8th annual International Film Series with the German-language film, Young Torless!
All films are free, open to the public, and subtitled in English. After the film, we will have a panel-led discussion.
Film summary: At an Austrian boys’ boarding school in the early 1900s, shy, intelligent Törless observes the sadistic behavior of his fellow students, doing nothing to help a victimized classmate—until the torture goes too far. Adapted from Robert Musil’s acclaimed novel, Young Törless launched the New German Cinema movement and garnered the 1966 Cannes Film Festival International Critics’ Prize for first-time director Volker Schlöndorff.
