School of Rock

Description

By Richard Linklater. Starring Jack Black, Mike White, Joan Cusack. Screening on October 18 in French version A rocker kicked out of his band finds a job as a music teacher in a very strict private school. Discovering a collection of tubas, bugles, harps, and pianos, he decides to give his students Gibson V guitars, drums, keyboards, and amplifiers. The energetic Jack Black displays an inexhaustible burlesque energy in this Disney production entrusted to an independent filmmaker – who has since directed A Scanner Darkly and Fast Food Nation. "A smooth film (like Dead Poets Society or Sister Act) but insightful and equipped with a perfect soundtrack for which Jim O'Rourke (former member of Sonic Youth, ed.) was the consultant, it aims to overturn the illusion of reality TV in the style of Star Academy, instilling in its future elite the cruelty and greatness of failures" (Antoine Thirion, Cahiers du cinéma). USA · 2003 · 109' · original version with French/German subtitles - format: 35mm@CAP 1 – Capitole, Freddy Buache Hall (CAP 1) - indicative price: 10.-
