Movie Reviews of Young Torless - Criterion Collection

Movie Review: I have an ambiguous feeling about this
Summary: 3 Stars

Early in the film, Torless' math teacher tells him everything comes down to feelings, even mathematics. Then two of Torless' friends start torturing Basini for stealing. Torless watches, pondering the nature of good and evil while Basini is beaten, stabbed and hung. It's kind of like a sadistic version of "My Night at Maud's," where violence instead of sex is the problem, or maybe more like that Matt Dillion movie, "My Bodyguard," only here instead of saving Basini, the Linderman character is questioned before his professors where they decide he's too intellectually ambitious for their school and they ship him off to somewhere fancier. Basini gets a wedgie, but since he doesn't know what a good education really is, he doesn't seem to mind too much.
