I love that he mentioned Uncut Gems as a film of similar structure and character. My first thought after finsihing The Teachers Lounge, was that it reminded me of Uncut Gems and the way they both just gove you a heart attack
The themes were a clash of modernism; where the school and teachers are authorities and have rules and facts matter; with postmodernism where kids feel free to express themselves without regard for objectivity or impact; parents are more concerned with subjectivity of their kids experience over values such as attaining educational standards and being part of the community, and discomfort with holding anyone accountable without considering their subjectivity. Now we're at a point where schools no longer expel or suspend kids and let them pass without mastering the content, and what does that mean for a new teacher?
First interview I saw with Çatak. It's an excellent conversation, he comes across as a precise filmmaker and a very thoughtful and kind person. Still, I felt hugely let down by the film's ending. Especially after everything that happened for 90 minutes before was so on point and gripping. I hear what people are saying about questions being left unanswered on purpose, but sometimes - and this is one of those cases - that comes across as being hesitant to make some ultimately necessary bold decisions, and then trying to sell it as having special artistic value.
I don't know which questions you mean exactly, but regarding who stole stuffs in the school, it matters only to the viewer. The damage was already done to the participants regardless of who did it. The same true for Anatomie d'une chute. Things are destroyed in these situations, many times irrevocably, regardless of what is the truth.
They made it clear in the end that the kid understood that his mom stole it. It was the point of the rubrik's cube. He felt guilty but still couldn't admit it or say sorry. That's why he didn't pick up the phone when his mom called.
@@timestimesx7535 That doesn’t mean that she stole or not stole money. Evidences were against her, but we know that those lie a lot of times. He just believed the evidences.
You missed it. He represents mathematics and statistical probability: His mother was the only one in the school that day wearing that blouse. She was on video touching the coat and putting something in her pocket. Probability days no one else did it. Her son, a math whiz/genius, finally allowed his brain to see what his emotions did not want to.

My Favorite movie of the year by far, absolutely loved it especially having been a teacher myself. What a wonderful piece of work!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW!
Amazing film and film maker. ❤

This is a shockingly impressive film. I feel very distinguished for seeing it ❤
