Review of The Edukators (2004) by Belén A — 18 Sep 2007
Peter (Stipe Erceg) and Jan (Daniel Bruhl) are "The Edukators", young men with leftish political ideas that have their own way of fighting the establishment. What do they do? Well, they break into rich people s houses and rearrange the furniture in strange ways, leaving behind a card signed saying "Your days of plenty are numbered", signed by "The Edukators". The purpose of Peter and Jan is to scare the rich, and make them realize that not everybody is happy with the status quo.
All goes well until Jule (Julia Jentsch), Peter s girlfriend, learns about their activities from Jan, while Peter is on holidays. Jules likes what they do, and proposes Jan to break into the house of a rich businessman that "ruined her life". Of course, not everything goes well, but that makes things more interesting, as their unsuccessful mission spices the rest of the movie, setting the stage for a kidnapping and a love triangle :).
"The Educators" is far from perfect, but it certainly is quite original and entertaining.
