Youth in Revolt (1938)

Directed by Marie Epstein, Jean Benoît-Lévy

Overview

“Altitude 3.200” asks the question and provides the premise of what would happen if a group of young people——poor, rich, discontented, bored—- were given an idyllic community in which to live. Call it a colony. Call it a village. Call it one-world. Mainly call it a futile exercise in changing human nature, mores, culture and attitudes at any altitude. For t’ain’t no time before clashing personalities, petty jealousy, violence and—-that old demon—-love create havoc. And isn’t much longer before they become re-united in the face of an avalanche that threatens to destroy them. They all return to whence they came, sadder and wiser.
