See Ezra Miller in his shocking and startling debut as a teenage monster! Pornography, drug addiction and murder...It's just an average day for pupils an elite American school in the movie about the YouTube generation, AFTERSCHOOL (18), available to buy on 13th February 2012, RRP £9.99. Robert (Ezra Miller -- We Need to Talk About Kevin) - is a young, ill-at-ease American student at a private East Coast preparatory school who has a disturbing penchant for random Youtube clips and online pornography. He is also very much a loner and finds friendly interactions with other students his own age difficult. Robert accidentally captures on camera the agonising death of two attractive and popular female classmates. The principle of the school decides that their lives are to become memorialised as part of an audio-visual assignment designed to speed up the campus-wide healing process -- a project that is assigned to Robert. But the video memorial assignment creates an atmosphere of paranoia and unease among students and teachers with unforeseen consequences. Apart from the brilliant performance of Ezra Miller, AFTERSCHOOL also features Rosemary DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married) and Michael Stuhlbarg, who stars in the Coen brothers' A Serious Man and HBO drama Boardwalk Empire. The motivation and the inspiration of AFTERSCHOOL, according to the director Antonio Campos, was born out of his own history as a student at an elite New York preparatory school, the alumni of which includes Truman Capote; the death of two close friends and the harrowing event of 9/11, when he was himself only 18 years of age.
