Young Törless
Movie • 1966 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
At an Austrian boys' boarding school in the early 1900s, shy, intelligent Törless observes the sadistic behavior of his fellow students, doing nothing to help a victimized classmate—until the torture goes too far. Adapted from Robert Musil's acclaimed novel, Young Törless launched the New German Cinema movement and garnered the 1966 Cannes Film Festival International Critics' Prize for first-time director Volker Schlöndorff.

Not exactly, but there are implications that one student may have coerced another student--by blackmail--into sexual activity.

No, however the film centers on a boy becoming the "slave" of his classmates. There are beatings, humiliation, restraining of the boy, etc. If you find BDSM triggering, might want to skip this one.

In a way: students flip through erotic images, which include nude images/photographs.

The students at the school visit a local sex worker and take a very casual attitude about touching her or undressing her without asking.

A mouse is killed, thrown violently on the ground. Not graphic but seems quite real (might be a real one because it was 1966)
