影片追随两位牛津大一新生,Miles(麦克斯·艾恩斯)以及Alistair(《饥饿游戏》男星山姆·克拉弗林),他们加入“骚乱俱乐部”(Riot Club)的过程和经历。根据电视特辑所说,骚乱俱乐部成员不到十人,都是精英中的精英,而要进入这个精英团体可不容易,随后的片段中,Alistair 就喝下了一杯,加了烟头、蠕虫等各种难以想象的恶心“佐料”的红酒。
影片改编自2010年火爆伦敦的剧作“Posh”,骚乱俱乐部的原型据说是牛津大学著名的布灵顿俱乐部(Bullingdon Club),英国许多政要,包括首相卡梅伦,伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊都是其中成员。其奢华的晚宴,以及狂暴的“入会仪式”,比如在学校餐厅和寝室“打砸抢”等,也同样出名。
Filthy rich, spoilt rotten !! This interesting British film (it’s not gay / queer per se) describes the actions and ideology of an elite fraternity in the University of Oxford. Here we are dealing with a small clique of students, from wealthy and/or aristocratic families of Britain (amongst them one gay and one Greek shipowner !). These brotherhoods are nurseries for the production of top politicians and businessmen, “naive villains” who firmly believe that their privileges are above the laws that apply to common people and as one of the group says in the present film: “I am sick of the poor!” . Based on a real club (“The Bullingdon Club” of former British PM Cameron), the film tries to showcase the modern, aristocratic, elitistic way of life and thinking in a society of strong class divisions. The film is based on Laura Wade’s theatrical play, “Posh”. The play focuses rather on the delight of debauchery itself, although it does not miss the satirical political spikes. However, in the film script that she wrote, the hints are limited, so the Danish director Mrs Lone Shering could only move into this tight context : Tell a night of decay that ends in a life lesson for these spoiled brats.
The cast includes the cream of young/handsome/talented British actors, including Max Irons, son of Jeremy Irons and hereunder, I give you direct links to some of their LGBTQI films available in this site. Look them up !!⏬
