The Edukators


Finally saw this last night. Jan and Peter live together in Berlin and are best friends. They want to change the world. By night they break into rich men’s villas and move everything around and pile the furniture up in unexpected formations. They do not steal anything, but leave a message for the bourgeois owners such as ‘You have too much money’ or ‘Your days of plenty are over’. They sign their messages ‘The edukators’. They want to make the rich feel insecure in their wealth and to think about the unfair distribution of the world's riches. It starts off very well but somewhere past the middle it gets a bit bogged down and looks like it will have a Hollywood ending. Thankfully there is a twist at the end that provides a more realistic resolution. I liked it but I'm an old hippie leftist.
