Inspired by an extraordinary true story, THE PENGUIN LESSONS is a warm, funny and moving tale of an unlikely friendship set against the political turmoil of 1970s Argentina.
Disillusioned English teacher Tom Michell takes a job at an elite boys’ school in Buenos Aires, hoping for an easy life. But after rescuing a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, he finds himself unable to get rid of his new companion. As the penguin becomes an unlikely fixture at the school, Tom begins to connect with his students and rediscover his compassion for those around him.
Directed by Peter Cattaneo, the Oscar-nominated director of THE FULL MONTY, and starring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce.
Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 95%
The film will be shown with an intermission with the bar and ice creams available.
he Penguin Lessons is appealing even if it curiously elides some disturbing geopolitical history, and is elevated by a winning performance from Steve Coogan with a little help from a lovable pint-sized companion.
