Eleanor Catton, The Rehearsal
A high-school sex scandal jolts a group of teenage girls into a new awareness of their own potency and power. The sudden and total publicity seems to turn every act into a performance and every platform into a stage. But when the local drama school decides to turn the scandal into a show, the real world and the world of the theater are forced to meet, and soon the boundaries between private and public begin to dissolve.

Kawakami, De tas van de leraar

Hiromi Kawakami, De tas van de leraar. Atlas.


Hoewel geen echte schoolfilm, maar toch over een verhouding leraar-leerling:

Tsukiko is achtendertig jaar en alleen. Voor de liefde, zo gelooft zij, is zij niet gemaakt. Dan ziet ze in een kroeg voor het eerst in twintig jaar Sensei, een leraar uit haar middelbareschooltijd, terug. Vanaf dat moment ontmoeten ze elkaar daar geregeld en gaan ze samen op paddenstoelenjacht, naar een feestje onder de kersenbloesems en naar een herberg op een eiland. Allebei zoeken ze elkaars toenadering, terwijl ze die op hetzelfde moment ontvluchten – Sensei door de herinneringen aan zijn vrouw, die hem jaren geleden verliet, en Tsukiko door afspraakjes te maken met mannen van haar eigen leeftijd. Terwijl de dagen rustig voortkabbelen, weten Sensei en Tsukiko echter het leeftijdsverschil te overstijgen en de droefheid in elkaars hart te verlichten.
