Der junge Torless (Young Torless) (1966) ---------------------------------------------------- File details: ~ 624 x 352 pixesl @ 23.98 fps 1h 27m 35s running time MPEG3 audio @ 128 kbps XVID compression Film details: ~ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060574/ Directed by Volker Schlondorff Starring Mathieu Carriere as Torless Marian Seidowsky as Basini Bernd Tischer as Beineberg Fred Dietz as Reiting, and Barbara Steele as Bozena Music by Hanz Werner Henze Synopsis (taken from Wikipedia.org) --------------------------------------- Young Torless (German: Der junge Torless) is a 1966 German film directed by Volker Schlondorff, adapted from the autobiographical novel The Confusions of Young Torless by Robert Musil. It deals with the sadistic and homoerotic tendencies of a group of boys at an Austrian military academy at the beginning of the 20th century. When Thomas Torless (Mathieu Carriere) arrives at the academy, his interest is soon piqued by the apparently homosexual Anselm von Basini (Marian Seidowsky), who, after having been caught stealing by fellow student Reiting (Fred Dietz), becomes Reiting's "slave," bowing to Reiting's sadistic rituals. Torless follows their relationship with intellectual interest but without emotional involvement. Also partaking in these sessions is Beineberg (Bernd Tischer), with whom Torless visits Bozena (Barbara Steele), the local prostitute. Again, Torless is aloof and more intrigued than excited by the woman. When Basini and Torless are left alone in the academy, Torless sleeps with Basini, though he later decides it was just an experiment. After Basini is nearly lynched by a mob because of one of Reiting's intrigues, Torless, having completed the transition from youth to adult, takes his life in his own hands for the first time and leaves the academy. (Note)---------------------------------------------------------- This was the first film by Volker Schlondorff. It won a prize at the Cannes film festival in 1966, and catapulted the director into the ranks of the world's significant film directors. It is also considered the first film of the German New Wave.

I'm not a "pro" yet, so please give me a chance. This is a masterpiece, and I've never yet seen this anywhere on the 'Net.

Thanks a lot... I myself came across this film (a reference to it) from Theodore Adorno (philsopher). I loved the film, amazed to see how few Schlondorff films are actually there on BitTorrent. For someonw like Wenders, we always have 10-12 torrents live all the time...
Thanks for the comment, thank you for seeding it...

Nice work zeinabquereshi, great film and a quality d/l.
thx for sharing!!

zeinabqureshi (2008-03-14)

Thanks for the comment, *laffitoff*... in case you're looking for another film by Schlondorff, here's the link:

It does not show up in a search for Schlondorff, because the uploader forgot to mention the director's name! It's a good film I suppose...

Laffitoff (2008-03-22)

Hi zeinabqureshi,
Thanks for the info. Have also tried finding 'The Morals of Ruth Halbfass ' which was recommended to me some years ago but I've never come across this in any form.
many thanks for your quality work!

zeinabqureshi (2008-11-16)

@Laffitoff:
Sorry for being this late...but Ruth Halbfass is nowhere to be found, searched everywhere including the DVD shops. Will put it up once I lay my hands on it...not sure if it ever had a DVD release, though.

Zeinab, I always thought I was crazy about films but you are in a different league all together. The depth and breadth of movies you have seen is simply amazing. You would do great as a film critic.
P.S. I am posting this message on other movie boards because I do not know which one you would read.

zeinabqureshi (2009-03-27)

Faisal,
(I have replied to your comment on my latest torrent as well) Thanks for your comment...
This was my first upload. I was meaning to plug some stops in the incredible collection of Criterion movies available in the trackers (I guess we have more than 415 of the 450-odd Criterion titles available, somewhere). I came by some good movies, watched some of them, and posted those which weren't available elsewhere.
Thanks for taking the time for noting...and you were pretty quick with the comments on all my posts...!

amazing zeinabqureshi!
great selection.
refreshing to find real cinema around here.
thanks very much, from Brasil.

Thanks for downloading. Well, this was the movie which made me upload a few torrents.
By the by, you have a nice nickname (pirata00).
:-;
Do check back occasionally...you can find almost all of the Criterion releases some place or else, but I'll be posting here.
Cheers, and happy viewing!

Thank you Zainab Qureshi, great upload, also from 2 weeks piratebay seems to be an offline tracker in India and Pakistan so please add

in the tracker list. Some, who are getting problems in downloading piratebay torrents can also use that tracker

zeinabqureshi (2009-12-08)

@wasifhaze:
tpb is trying to switch eventually to magnet links and DHT...the idea is to make this site work or trackerless torrents. I guess they'd continue to support trackers for a year or so, but all over the world, including "safe havens" such as Holland, torrent sites have taken a beating...so make hay while the sun shines, get all you can. Regards.
I'm not from Pakistan, but my love and my best regards.
