High School (12A)
In his second film, documentarian Frederick Wiseman ventures inside a large city high school ? the most everyday of American institutions ? where lessons range from debates on existentialism to a simulated space flight.
Assembled with dry humour, High School captures a series of formal and informal encounters between teachers, students, parents and administrators.
With Wiseman?s usual knack for presenting a clear-eyed vision of complex realities, the film shows how the function of education is steeped in the passing on of social and moral values.?
