THE EMPEROR'S CLUB (FILM)

 

Directed by Michael Hoffmann

Stars Kevin Cline

USA

2002

Seen on SBS World Movies

An idealistic prep school teacher attempts to redeem an incorrigible student.

Not as moving as it should be -its plot is too cynical ultimately for that. Kevin Klein is somewhat muted and the overall effect is just 'nice' but unmemorable.  Beautifully filmed and the plot keeps you wondering where it's going.
