Matt Wolf follows his acclaimed documentary Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell with this fresh look at the energy and angst of adolescence. Based on Jon Savage’s book Teenage: The Creation of Youth, the film captures milestones in youth culture from some of the brightest and darkest moments of recent history. Skillfully constructed from stunning footage from the beginning of the 20th century up to the end of the 1940s, Wolf’s film finds a thousand different ways to escape adult oppression and influence society, culture and politics.
The film has
