The English Lesson

About This Movie

So, 'The English Lesson' is this quirky little gem from 2016 that paints a pretty bizarre picture of the future. You've got Virgil, the English Language Steward, who’s like an assistant to this soulless computer teacher. The whole setup is oddly amusing, with him in that striking red hooded outfit which just screams underappreciation. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, but it kind of works with the absurdity of the scenario. The humor has this dry edge, making it a unique take on education and technology. The practical effects are minimal but effective, focusing more on the characters’ interactions rather than flashy visuals. It's definitely not your typical comedy, but that’s what makes it stand out, I think.
