Review of Teachers (1984) by J.d. E — 07 Jun 2007
This is a dark comedy that needs the right audience to appreciate it. There are some really offensive things in here (a student is killed by police; a teacher takes a student who is pregnant by another teacher to get an abortion), but there is an incredible message developing around it all.
As a high school teacher, I saw a lot of things that seemed all-too familiar, and a lot of things that were way off base for the sake of art. See this if you like dark comedy and can see beyond the surface events in a film to grasp its whole message.
There is some witty comedy that anyone who has been to high school will appreciate, and some that high school teachers especially will love.
