The History Boys (2006)

Nicholas Hytner · 109 min · Letterboxd ↗

The story of an unruly class of bright, funny history students at a Yorkshire grammar school in pursuit of an undergraduate place at Oxford or Cambridge. Bounced between their maverick English master, a young and shrewd teacher hired to up their test scores, a grossly out-numbered history teacher, and a headmaster obsessed with results, the boys attempt to pass.

The History Boys screens once in London: The Cinema Museum, Saturday 12 September at 19:30.
