Leonie Benesch as Nowak letting out a good scream
The Big Picture Teachers can change people’s lives. What the new Ilker Çatak feature The Teachers’ Lounge presupposes is…what if a teacher changed people’s lives for the worse? So it is with Carla Nowak , the protagonist of The Teachers’ Lounge. Nowak is not an evil human being. On the contrary, she's quite empathetic to her students and tries to empower them to be deeply idiosyncratic human beings.
The Visual Details Shine in 'The Teachers’ Lounge' Cinematographer Judith Kauffman frames The Teachers' Lounge in a tight 1.37:1 aspect ratio. This key visual choice serves as an extension of the intentionally limited scope of the script by Çatak and Johannes Duncker, both literally and figuratively .
Çatak wisely leans heavily on the visuals of The Teachers’ Lounge to the point that key scenes, like a later confrontation between Nowak and Kuhn during a parent/teacher night, transpire without any accompanying score and minimal sound effects. Just the performances and camerawork are enough to carry this tense reunion. The mastery informing such sparse scenes told through steady camerawork makes more overwhelming sequences in The Teachers’ Lounge remarkably powerful.
