In 1983 Moscow, an American journalist interviews a man who looks back on his final year at an elite English public school decades earlier.

About
You may enjoy this if you like reflective dramas about class, rebellion, and identity told through a framed interview, with a moody school atmosphere; not for you if you want fast pacing or clear-cut answers like Cabaret.
Pros: strong lead performances; evocative school setting; provocative themes | Cons: uneven focus; slow, talky stretches; can feel dated
