New art movie out this week at selected theaters, I haven't seen it but have read several reviews that we might like;
excerpt from one review-
"Erika's messed-up maternal relationship translates into a whole lot of bad news for her students, who receive the brunt of their teacher's focused, misguided rage. She's extremely tough on them, often ripping multiple assholes at a time while labeling her charges as pathetic and suggesting they'll be lucky to find careers tickling the ivories at a strip club. We begin to see a slightly different side of Erika when cocksure new student Walter Klemmer (Benoît Magimel) clumsily tries to seduce her. He's a brash young engineering student who isn't really at all serious about the piano, which irks Erika and sends her spiraling into a shocking cycle of reckless behavior that includes self-mutilation, public urination and recklessly endangering the career of her most promising student, as well as something involving the used wads of tissue found on the floor of a private booth in an adult bookstore. And that's all before she finally succumbs to Walter and provides what might be cinema's creepiest sex scene since Dennis Hopper rode Isabella Rosellini into nitrous-fueled oblivion in Blue Velvet."
A local paper says the main character likes to peep in on people heavy-petting in cars at the local drive-in while urinating on the ground!
Can't wait to check this one out...
