"Safe Spaces" in Crisis: A Glimpse into the Dark Corners of Adolescence The Venice Film Festival has been abuzz with films exploring the concept of an "oasis," a safe haven from the chaos of the world.
German writer director Jannis Lenz's debut feature, Oasis, stands out for its unflinching examination of adolescent life, tackling themes of exclusion, violence, and the ever present fear of being ostracized.
At its core, Oasis is a film about the fragility of human relationships during the tumultuous teenage years.
