Downward Spiral - TeacherSex On Film

Teachers banging students is part of the death nell of proper society, according to R.J. Stove at Taki's Top Drawer. Stove's review of Notes on a Scandal is a poignant look at Blairite Britain through its reflection on the silver screen.

While I tend to poke fun at the women involved in these scandals, in all seriousness it does represent a serious breakdown in society. Such actions undermine confidence in the educational system and authority at large. While there is an obvious silver lining for guys like me who are both libertarians and horny bastards - having children growing up without respect for authority and boundaries means extra money for me to spend on home security and a gun for my future wife.

Notes has been out for a while, but is still playing in smaller theatres. For a drama that is less dystopian than real, it seems like a sound bet.
