At an Austrian boys’ boarding school in the early 1900s, shy, intelligent T�rless observes the sadistic behavior of his fellow students, doing nothing to help a victimized classmate�until the torture goes too far. Adapted from Robert Musil’s acclaimed novel, Young T�rless launched the New German Cinema movement and garnered the 1966 Cannes Film Festival International Critics’ Prize for first-time director Volker Schl�ndorff.
