Cork Cine Club presents THE TEACHERS’ LOUNGE [Germany]
Tickets go on sale Sunday 15 September at 8:00am.
Carla [Leonie Benesch] is a dedicated, idealistic young teacher in her first job at a German secondary school. Her relaxed rapport with her first year students is put under stress when a series of thefts occur at the school. A staff investigation leads to accusations and mistrust among outraged parents, opinionated colleagues, and angry students. Caught in the middle of these complex dynamics, Carla tries to mediate—but the more she tries to do everything right, the more desperate her position becomes.
Director İlker Çatak creates a riveting work about school as a microcosm of society. Playing out like a thriller, it is a study in power dynamics, with themes of truth, justice, racism, respect, and children’s rights that demonstrate how individuals are worn down between entrenched positions.
2024 Oscar nominee, Best International Feature Film.
A masterclass in playground politics…Benesch is superb, her face a glazed mask of panic as the shockwaves resulting from her actions shake the very foundations of the school. – The Observer
Gripping…a tense social parable. – Variety
Writer-director Ílker Çatak pulls it off, aided by excellent performances all around and two truly superb ones: Leonie Benesch as an idealistic new teacher and a heart-breaking Leo Stettnisch as her troubled student. – Associated Press
An exemplary film that strikes an emotional and thoughtful chord. – Screen Rant
