Movie Haiku:More of a narrative short than a full feature, but intense & gripping thru-out. High school teacher falls in love with one of her students. He is attentive & solicitous but when she grows cautious & pulls back from the relationship, he moves on & she freaks out. Would back story have made this film better? Rich wanted more but Jan thinks more would likely have meant less.
