Cracks

Eva Green, Juno Temple   d/ Jordan Scott

Excellent English boarding school drama. Like Jean Brodie, EG's character is a fabulist, filling her young charges with imaginary voyages and ideals she has cribbed from popular novels. A Spanish princess is sent to the school as punishment...she excels in every way and stirs up a witches brew of longing and resentment.

Scott is the daughter of Ridley, who produced the film...she shares his visual sense and camera fluidity but her skill with character development evidences a greater understanding of the subtleties of human interaction. JT is unrecognizable from her role in Dirty Girl. 

First rate work which made me wonder why I'd never heard of it.
