See this film: Lessons of a Dream @ the Coolidge

Published Jun 23 2012, 12:00 PM by Peter Keough

Though not as flashy as the Fassbinder/Herzog/Wenders glory days of the '70s, German cinema lately has quietly been turning out some of the world's better movies, many of which have been showcased by the Goethe-Institut at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. Tomorrow they are screening Sebastian Grobler's Lessons of a Dream (2011). Set in Germany in 1874, it offers an illuminating twist on the familiar story of the young teacher who challenges the hidebound rules of a stodgy school, inspiring the students and threatening the establishment. The Coolidge is at 290 Harvard St, Brookline | Sunday, June 24 @ 11 am | $5 | 617.734.2501 or coolidge.org.
