The Edukators comes bundled with enough hype and hope to prompt you into the IFI of an evening instead of lazily borrowing from your mates pirated DVD collection. Billed in reviews left, right and centre as an exposition of the political angst of a generation, the film provides a brief glance into the lives of Jan, (Daniel Bruhl), Peter, (Stipe Erceg) and Jule, (Julia Jentsch). Together they are three radicalised young Berliners, coping with the alienation of daily life in the city. ... read full story / add a comment

Today is our day. Not because we have cancer of the prostrate or breast, or are women or literate, or are remembering the end of a war and some victory, or the liberation of a camp or some famine-

This is Our Day because we are still in struggle. ... read full story / add a comment
