Pedagogue

About This Movie

Pedagogue is a really intriguing piece from 1988 featuring Neil Bartlett, who delivers a solo performance that’s both amusing and thought-provoking. The way it dives into the implications of Clause 28 is fascinating; it’s almost like a time capsule of a specific social climate. The pacing is tight, keeping you engaged while the themes of censorship and identity play out with a comic twist. Honestly, it’s distinctive because of its rawness and direct address to the camera, which feels quite intimate. You're left contemplating how far we've come and how much still resonates today.

Pedagogue hasn't seen a wide release, making original formats fairly elusive. Most collectors will find it in VHS or rare exhibition formats, contributing to its niche status. Its scarcity and the provocative themes it tackles have made it an interesting talking point among collectors, especially those focused on LGBTQ+ history and representation in media.
