About this episode

Jen and Tim explore the relevance of Volker Schlöndorff’s film Young Törless in the context of New German Cinema.

Jen and Tim go back to the roots of the New German Cinema and find much that’s still relevant in Volker Schlöndorff’s bleak character study, Young Törless. See video of Schlöndorff introducing a screening of Young Törless at a 2018 conference at Notre Dame. Jen hasn’t finished Klaus Theweleit’s Male Fantasies yet (it’s two volumes, plus she can’t read) but she’s gonna go ahead and recommend it to you if you’re at all interested in the psychology of fascism.
