Film: The Teacher (2023)
Tomorrow, film - and with the week's film list finally done, and me having eliminated what I didn't like from the top of it - I was headed to The Teacher . It's about a Palestinian teacher who begins a relationship with a UN worker ( Imogen Poots ) stationed there. Stanley Townsend plays the father of an American/Israeli soldier taken hostage. Closest showing to me was in The Garden Cinema - and late enough that I should be able to make it! It'd be lovely not to have to rush. "Not to rush", eh? I was on the slowest bus imaginable.. but I stuck it out, figuring I had plenty of time. We stopped TWICE "to even out the gaps in the service" - the second time, it was ages before he even put on that announcement. A tourist family on board were most confused about why we kept stopping. Tons of passengers did disembark, to try their luck elsewhere. Me, I think he was eking out his time - sure enough, when we got to the usual spot, we changed drivers.
