The Edukators

Certainly a political/philosophical idea that is easy to sympathise with (and even more so in the intervening years), but far too simple minded and didactic to really work as serious “drama”; it really is a terrific premise and should have had the potential to turn “home invasion” tropes on their head, but the film takes forever to reach its first galvanising incident, and then spends most of the remaining time engaging its characters in dull, expository philosophical discussion, which robs the narrative of most of its credibility. Well performed (Klaußner is especially good in his characterisation of the quarry), but really feels like a missed opportunity.
