The Penguin Lessons is the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, he discovered instead a complicated and divided nation – and a class of practically unteachable young boys. When he finds a small penguin washed up on an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside down – and the penguin becomes not only a valued friend, but also a teacher of life’s most important lessons, for Tom, the boys and many others.
这个被导演反复打磨的意象，像一枚尖锐的钢钉。当时在2018年的柏林电影节上，这头沉默的大象用四小时的影像悲鸣，导演用生命浇筑的绝望美学永远定格在电影史的天际线上。 这部浸透死亡意识的遗作，不仅仅是对加缪"真正严肃的哲学问题只有一个，自杀"的影像诠释，更是将中国县城青年的生存困境升华为存在主义困境的现代寓言。Copyright © 2020-2025 All Rights Reserved
