Review: Notes on a Scandal

notesonascandalposter.jpgLast night after my microeconomics midterm (which went fairly well I believe) I went to Vero’s place and Mel popped in a film called Notes of a Scandal.  It starred Judy Densch as an old spinster (as she called herself) who teaches at a high school.  Along comes a new arts teacher (Cate Blanchett) who ends up having relations with a 15 year old student (while being married and with children at home).

The film revolves around the secret of this relationship and how Judy Densch’s character finds out about it but promises to keep it a secret only to use it as a tool of power against Cate Blanchett.  She holds it over her head whenever there is something she wants.

In the end, it was a sub-par film and had different views on scandalous behaviour.  I do enjoy Judy Densch from the James Bond films so it was nice to see her in something different.

Not much else to say no this one.  It kept my interest for the most part so if you’re flicking through the television set one night and come across it, you may as well stop and watch.  I don’t know if it’s worth a rental though.
