Jonas

2012 · 106 min Comedy
5.3 / 10 · TMDB

Jonas is 18-years-old and has had to repeat several years of his education. His acceptance into Brandenburg's Paul Dessau Comprehensive School is his last chance at getting any qualifications. The experimental film project 'Jonas' is mix of fiction and documentary. It was shot during actual lessons at a comprehensive school in Brandenburg. It uses the teachers and pupils of the school, and stars Christian Ulmen as Jonas. The aim of the project was to capture the influence of an artificial figure in a real space. Made with a subtly wry smile, this is a fascinating study of the school system, puberty, love and music.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the blurred line between fiction and documentary, relying on the authentic school environment as both setting and active participant. It explores the mechanisms of group dynamics and systemic pressure through improvisation and genuine reactions.

What lingers after viewing is the peculiar sensation of a social experiment, where an artificial figure reveals the subtle truths of adolescent life and institutional routines. A quietly witty observation. — MovieFinder Editorial
