• Das Experiment | DVD | (21/04/2003) from £4.99   |  Saving you £11.00 (220.44%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Inspired by a famous 1971 psychological experiment, Oliver Hirschbiegel's German-language movie Das Experiment finds a group of 20 volunteers randomly divided into 12 prisoners and eight guards and asked to play out their roles for a fortnight while scientists study their reactions. A conflict arises between undercover reporter Fahd (Moritz Bleibtreu), a con with a hidden agenda and the apparently mild-mannered Berus (Justus von Dohnanyi), a guard with a megalomaniac streak. The film begins as a psychological drama as ordinary people settle into the game, with joking displays of resistance by the "prisoners" greeted with increasing brutality from the "guards", but detours into suspense and horror as Fahd, who needs the experiment to get out of hand in order to make his story more saleable, deliberately ratchets up the tension between the factions only to see the situation spiral nightmarishly out of control as various test subjects in both camps edge closer to snapping. With a terrific display of ensemble acting and unforced use of the currently popular claustrophobic semi-documentary look, Hirschbiegel's movie takes its time to get underway, with apparently irrelevant cutaways to Fahd's outside girlfriend (Maren Eggert), but works up to a powerful second half that delivers a sustained symphony of psychological and physical anguish. On the DVD: Das Experiment on disc has an excellent-looking anamorphic widescreen transfer with English subtitles. The only extra feature is the trailer. --Kim Newman

  The Experiment is based on the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment conducted in 1971. A makeshift prison is set up in a research lab complete with cells bars and surveillance cameras. For two weeks 20 male participants are hired to play prisoners and guards. The 'prisoners' are locked up and have to follow seemingly mild rules and the 'guards' are told simply to retain order without using physical violence. Everybody is free to quit at any time thereby forfeiting payment. In the beginning the mood between both groups is insecure and rather emphatic. But soon quarrels arise and the wardens employ ever more drastic sanctions to confirm their authority.

  Das Experiment: It began as a game in the name of science. Twenty men (eight 'guards' and twelve 'prisoners') in an intense two week investigation into aggressive behaviour in a simulated prison environment. It soon became a quest to survive... Based on a real life psychological experiment Oliver Hirschbiegel's debut feature is a resonant hard-hitting look at the abuse of power and the corruption of authority. Masterfully shot with the use of hidden cameras the film builds to a bloody and thrilling climax. Nominated as the German contender for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar Das Experiment features a no holds barred performance by Moritz Bleibtreu as Tarek a heroic undercover journalist who stands up against the brutalities inflicted by the would-be guards.
