An overweight and lonely English teacher tries to reunite with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption.
“In the first series, we attend a creative writing class on an online platform. The frame shrinks on the desktop, which is a mosaic of screens. We see the faces of all but one student, the one in the center occupied by the teacher. Only one vote to occupy this black quadrant. The voice that dictates the rules of good writing: “Be sincere!” The shot zooms in on the black window and then reopens at the house of Charlie, the protagonist’s obese, oversized, overcrowded teacher. A larger than life body that occupies space and at the same time makes us rethink space, what is the look, what is the set and the image that is here in 4:3, like the cinema of the authors of the past and like the small screens of today’s world, which Charlie teaches, but who at the same time fears their cruelty, their “malice” – a word that is often repeated in the formal and religious logic of the “Kit”, constantly played into the dichotomy of choice: good / cruelty, body / soul, inside / outside, visible / invisible.
(…) Aronofsky is probably signing his elephant man
