Detachment

Detachment (2011) observes the three-week tenure of Henry Barthes, a transient substitute teacher navigating the corridors of high schools, where he imparts knowledge without forging lasting connections. The film zeroes in on a motley cast of educators and students, each grappling with their own disengagement and isolation. Through Henry’s detached perspective, the movie critiques the superficial bonds in contemporary education, highlighting the futility of transient relationships in a systemically disconnected environment.
