'Teachers' Room' is not, strictly speaking, the film we expect to see in a high school. The story is told of a novice teacher determined to do things well.

The film recycles the language of the school drama into a kind of claustrophobic'thriller'with admirable precision and stress. The camera pursues our heroine in her very out-of-tune desperation while the square format of the screen and the brilliant and strident soundtrack signed by Marvin Miller turn the so-called cinematic-educational experience into the closest thing to a nightmare.
