I saw this movie at the Sundance Film Festival and I think it just opened in the big cities this weekend. It's not out in SLC yet, but I wanted to mention it because I heard the director on NPR for a quick interview yesterday. It's a great movie about the unlikely friendship of a teacher and student. He teaches history and seems to be quite good at it. He's into dialectics and I think that's cool. But he has an addiction to cocaine and so for audiences we have to see if this friendship is acceptable to us or not. I loved it. It's really light on plot, but the artistry and emotion is great, and the soundtrack is all done by the band Broken Social Scene.
