There is a small, but wonderful, sub-genre of films which replace the mad scientist with a mad artist. I have carefully selected this month’s picks. Now, grab that beer and pastry of choice, and enjoy

On average, I watch around 10 movies a week, more if I can swing it, so narrowing down this month’s selection was pretty difficult. To complement this month’s special section on school and money, I selected films about schools that you might not be familiar with, or may have forgotten about. My selection spans 40 years and 3 continents.
