Philosophy: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie 12
Beware of free spirits? Ronald Neame’s
1969 film adaptation of Murial Spark’s
novel is Dead Poets Society for grown
ups. Charismatic art-loving teacher
Miss Brodie is very much a free spirit
constantly at odds with the authorities
in the conservative Edinburgh girls’
school where she works. But is that
really such a good thing? Or is she a
dangerous woman who needs putting
a stop to?
Part of our Philosophy at the Showroom series. In association with the University of Sheffield, probing the philosophical questions raised by some of cinema's most intriguing films.
