We take a look at a new British psychological thriller, thanks to Focus Features & Universal Pictures, that is all about the detail. THEN, the film’s director gives us the pleasure of her company, for a highly enjoyable conversation around bringing the project to life!!!
'The Lesson' is the feature directorial debut from Alice Troughton and written by Alex MacKeith. Liam (Daryl McCormack), an aspiring and ambitious young writer, eagerly accepts a tutoring position at the family estate of his idol, renowned author J.M. Sinclair (Richard E. Grant). But soon, Liam realizes that he is ensnared in a web of family secrets, resentment, and retribution. Sinclair, his wife Hélène (Julie Delpy), and their son Bertie (Stephen McMillan) all guard a dark past, one that threatens Liam’s future as well as their own. As the lines between master and protégé blur, class, ambition, and betrayal become a dangerous combination in this taut noir thriller.
