West Germany, 1968. It's the age of youth upheaval but the rebellious 14-year-old Wolfgang winds up at the detention center Freistatt, after having attacked his mother's new boyfriend. An unfamiliar institution where reprimands with nightsticks and forced labor are part of daily life. Wolfgang is neither large nor strong, but he has a mind of granite and stands up against the system. Something that he will pay a high price for. Sanctuary is an uncompromising film about an uncompromising young man who rentlessly struggles for self-worth in a merciless "educational system." Based on true events and a very dark chapter in Germany's history, where this institution survived into the twenty-first century. (Göteborg Film Festival)

I picked up this not rather unknown but highly praised film from Germany set in a religious facility! It is reminiscent in its concept to Nordic films like The Day Will Come, and its qualities are certainly not far from them. A young 14 year old who has problems at school and rebels against his stepfather is sent to a religious institution for hard to handle juveniles to "reform", but he is in for a very difficult time. Bullying by inmates and guards is rampant. Freistatt is a horrible place in the middle of nowhere, with bogs all around, and the wardens are, as is their wont, petty bitches with no compassion. Suspenseful, authentically unpleasant and decently gritty. Quite shocking at the end. Yeah, if, like me you haven’t heard of it, you should give it a go! 80%

The Germans are attacking us again with that aggressive precision and with difficult-to-define emotions. The story is fairly austere and systematic; however, it evokes the effect of disgust and contempt, thus fulfilling its purpose.Sanctuary is an absolutely unprecedented drama that tries to document someof the disgusting things that took place in West Germany.It could almost be said that the boys in that camp were probably the only West Germans who would rather live in East Germany at that moment; that’s how cruel this movie was.
