MR BACHMANN AND HIS CLASS is a German documentary in which an unorthodox teacher works with his class of first and second generation immigrant pupils to help them learn and find their place in the world.
violence
We see pupils boxing one another in mild scenes of sporting violence. There is a verbal reference to a child being grabbed around the throat by another in a brief, off-screen altercation.
language
Mild bad language includes the terms 'shit', 'asshole', 'ass', 'piss', 'crap', 'screw' and 'hell'.
sex
There are mild references to sex, including a scene in which pupils ask a teacher about his first experiences of love. There is also some comic innuendo, which includes a moment in which a guitar stand is likened to a 'hard-on'; however, the term is not explained in the film.
discrimination
Some pupils display homophobic attitudes which are challenged by teachers and fellow students. There are references to racism and the discriminatory behaviour of the Nazis during the Second World War and its build-up; this comes in an educational context during school lessons.
theme
Several children experience different forms of bullying or exclusion from other pupils, but these issues are tackled and discussed by teachers when they become aware of them.
additional issues
A teacher tells pupils that his parents had a drinking problem as he was growing up and would become "unpleasant" when drunk. There are brief, undetailed references to suicide in a folk song that a teacher sings and then discusses with his class. We see teachers smoking. There are scenes of emotional upset as children face challenges or issues in their lives that are troubling them.
