The Browning Version

The greatest lessons in the life and the ones learned by heart.

199497 min6.4 / 10

A deeply introspective character study of a bitter, isolated man confronting the wreckage of his life and searching for redemption through self-understanding.

Andrew Crocker-Harris is an embittered and disliked teacher of Greek and Latin at a British prep school. After nearly 20 years of service, he is being forced to retire for 'health reasons', and perhaps may not even be given a pension. The boys regard him as a Hitler, with some justification. His unfaithful wife Laura tries to hurt him in any way she can. Andrew must come to terms with his failed life and at least regain his own self-esteem.
