Bad Apples
classified 15Starring four time Academy Award® nominee Saoirse Ronan, Bad Apples is loosely based on Rasmus Andersson’s debut novel De Oönskare.
Ronan plays Maria, a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 11-year-olds but unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student. With her career in question and the child’s behaviour spiralling, she makes a series of bad decisions that lead to her accidentally taking and locking this "bad apple” in her home.
She tries desperately to backtrack, but when the class starts flourishing and the staff and parents are thrilled with the improvement, she finds herself in a very complicated predicament.
As entertaining as it is provocative, Bad Apples also features a whole host of Bristol legends including Amy Mason and Alice Lamb, and was filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios and on location in the South West.
Featuring a pre-recorded introduction by director Jonathan Etzler.
The Sat 26 Sept 15:30 screening features and introduction from a special guest and is presented as part of Encounters Film Festival.
