Die Reifeprüfung

...en odödlig klassiker och ett tveklöst måste för alla.

En sann klassiker som stått modell för en hel del filmer.

...this rereleased classic remains a hugely pleasurable experience...

It is a good topical movie whose time has passed, leaving it stranded in an earlier age. I give it three stars out of delight for the material it contains; to watch it today is like opening a time capsule.

...few films have ever captured that feeling of upper-middle class ennui with such astuteness, laying bare a world rich in material possessions, but empty inside.
