Quick comment: 12
years after the acclaimed “american history X”, Tony Kaye’s “detachment”
focuses on another eminent social problem. The issues and concerns faced by
school teachers are presented. Their
own personal problems are also a key factor and Kaye plays with it to
manipulate our feelings. Demonstrating to be pretentious in many ways it has simultaneously
the ability of grabbing some of our attention.
Relevant Awards: Audience award (São Paulo) and best artistic contribution (Tokyo).
