Sixteen-year-old Claude insinuates himself into the house of fellow high school student Rapha, writing about his family in essays that perversely blur the lines between reality and fiction for his jaded literature teacher Germain. Intrigued by this gifted and unusual student, Germain rediscovers his taste for teaching, but the boy’s intrusion sparks a series of uncontrollable events. [Cohen Media]

The main couple go to the cinema to see Match Point [the Woody Allen film] and this actually plays like one of his films. The BBFC notice before the film had a kind of inverse spoiler which misled me as to where the film was going. I enjoyed it but it was strangely uninvolving.
