Youth in Revolt
1938 · Movie · 91 min. · France
“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.
