The nature of art and the nature of monstrous men lies at the heart of Alice Troughton's feature film Aren debut, The Lesson. She talks to RTÉ Arena above.
Richard E Grant stars as author JM Sinclair, who hires tutor Liam Somers (Irish actor Daryl McCormack) to prepare his son for his Oxford admission interview.
Liam has literary ambitions of his own, and plans to make the most of his time in the orbit of this great writer. He must also grapple with the strange family dynamic presided over by Sinclair’s wife Hélène, played by Julie Delpy.
