Hey all,
Tried to search for more movies from the keywords of this movie but had no luck(or it's just few movies like this) so thought I could write here instead.
Nothing really special I'm looking for but I just like the feeling with an all girl boarding school and some kind of relationship between teacher and student.I'm happy if anyone know anything or if it's just something that would be close to this movie in general that you know :-)
Thanks.
Loving Annabelle perhaps?
Not all girl boarding school but an interesting teacher-student love story.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. It's got a similar cloistered feeling and "cult of personality" teacher, although it's less sexual, it's just crazed.
shareThanks for the tips. I actully saw Loving annabella a while ago and really liked it so maybe should re-watch it some time now again.
It's strange they havent done more movies with love between people with the same sex because the few I've seen with it really worked out good. For an example tipping the velvet and even I Love You Phillip Morris(even if this move is more a comedy I feel the drama part was really well played).
There are LOADS of movies featuring people of the same sex in love. I thought you were asking just for boarding school movies with girls. :-)
Oh, and you might want to see "Madchen in Uniform" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022183/). It's recently be released on DVD, so it ought to be easy to find.
Naughty Schoolgirl Lez-o-rama Part IV covers much of the same territory.
shareHave you seen "The Children's Hour" with Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine? It was so controversial for it's time, even though it was an excellent movie with fabulous acting. It takes place at a girl's school run by the two women here in the US. It was filmed around late 50's to early 60's. I loved it but when I first watched it, I had no idea what all the fuss was about being too young to know about those things.
Lots of movies about boy's boarding schools all over the place if you are interested I could give you the name of a few.
I'll second Notes on a Scandal
This film reminded me a lot Notes of a Scandal. An attractive young female teacher has a consensual relationship with a male student which is discovered by another female teacher.
The other teacher uses this knowledge to her advantage as she becomes increasingly obsessed with the teacher who who had the affair.
"The Horseman comes... and tonight he comes for you!" (Lady Van Tassel, Sleepy Hollow)
The Children's Hour is very good. As you said it was controversial and ahead of its time I saw it only a few years ago and I thought it a brave film for the time it was made.
More interesting takes on coming of age at boarding schools...(think I'll make a list)
The Belles of St Trinian's well all of The St. Trinian's movies from the 1960s (not the remakes)
Tanner Hall
Lost & Delirious
The Group
If
Innocence
The Woods
Mona Lisa Smile
I dreamt of a roaring river and a woman that was a fish. Dead she drifted, with red tears...
1. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
2. Doubt
3. The Perfect Teacher
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and Picnic at Hanging Rock.
'Here lieth Beech Buchanan, protected by the ejaculation of serpents'
Not one about a student teacher relationship, but an all girls boarding school, and a same-sex relationship...plus one of the best movies I've seen in recent years, is "Lost and Delirious"
shareMajinclan_1, try a movie called "The fine Art of love: Mine ha ha", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425186/. i love that movie, lots of drama. All girls school, same sex relationships and ballerinas.
sorry for my english not my main lenguage.
"Tanner Hall" stars Rooney Mara. it takes place in a boarding school with all girls. there is a trailer & apparently it went to a film festival recently.
~I love the rhythm it is my methoood!~
what about the 1931 German film, "Maedchen in Uniform?"
sharei second lost and delirious
shareAbsolutely thirding the "Lost and Delirious" recommendation. Anyone who only knows the lovely Jessica Paré from "Mad Men" and Piper Perabo from "Coyote Ugly" should see it, as it's got to be among their best performances to date; the fact that it shares some thematic elements with what the OP is looking for is a bonus. :)
Also, OP, I just came across a link that has some recs not yet mentioned in this thread, so it might help you: http://www.popsugar.com/10-Movie-Student-Teacher-Romances-Crossed-Line -8490059 . I remember thinking I need to see "P.S." again eventually (Laura Linney & Topher Grace).
EDIT: A better link to that same list is here - http://www.tressugar.com/10-Student-Teacher-Romances-Movies-8477494

Yes, a certain kind of perv looks for more films like this.
This film is about pedophilia (the role played by Ms. Green), rape, including sodomy. Frankly, trying to understand the market, market understanding of this film, let alone who would, in all good conscience, go to see this film after reading the review and posts, is a troubling question.
I wasn't sure what the film was really about based upon the trailers. Upon reading the posts I was disturbed by subtle, suggested sympathy for the pedophile, charismatic or not, the acceptance of child abuse and rape in a boarding school, and the rape and murder of a boarding school student due to jealousy, or resentment.
I'm typically a fan of the Scott's, but this film romanticizes the most vile and base abuse of children, and encouragement of children abusing other children.
So, you want to find more films like this? Who would even want more films like this? You want to watch films about students in a boarding school who rape and sodomize. You are one sick pup. Get your immunization at the local humane society soon --- please.

Atlas. I'm bothered to know people have been sympathetic to Ms. G...she was a child abusing rapist, like you said.
However I don't think the movie romanticized it. The movie made me hate Ms. G. with a passion. I felt so bad for Fiamma, and so angry at her demise. So I don't think the movie really was bad...
...however if people walked away from it defending Ms. G or anything -- UGH that bothers me. But again, I've been through it happening in real life. People just see what they want to see sometimes, and would rather not face reality about *beep* like this.

So basically what you're saying is that watching a film about a pedophile automatically makes ME a pedophile?
In that case, watching films about murderers must mean I'm a murderer myself or that I'm interested in killing people, or that seeing romance movies with people cheating on one another automatically means I'm a cheater too huh?
I *beep* despise people like you. How can this film POSSIBLY encourage kids to bully their peers? HOW THE HELL DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT ONE?! I thought it was shown pretty clearly that others SHOULD NOT do it due to the consequences. Their bullying lead to the Spanish girl's death, on top of that they were all emotionally scarred and they are probably going to feel guilty for the rest of their lives, plus Di actually had to leave because she couldn't stay there anymore. So please enlighten me, how does this film ENCOURAGE other kids to bullying? We obviously didn't watch the same film, otherwise you wouldn't be lurking this film board and leaving the same message in every topic.
Hold on a second, you didn't actually watch this have you? You read the reviews and watched the trailer and not the actual thing?
Once again, people who HAVE NOT seen the film shouldnt be allowed to comment on it.
Either way, everyone's got different preferences. I love films about boarding schools and girls having relationships with each other, or their teacher, NOT because I have ever done it myself, but because it fascinates me/interests me. However just because I have interest in it, doesn't mean I'm a creepy old pedophile. Anyway I'm done wasting my time on your stupidity. Maybe you should go back to watching animated movies.

Take a psych course or read up on cyber bullying or mob-mentality. And, also add in why young girls sodomize with sticks and we have predator teachers in private schools. "They are (actually it would be "were" going to feel guilty for the rest of their lives, plus Di actually had to leave..." Well, it turns out they are alive and the child molester has to leave - boo hoo. What tragic consequences for criminal activities.
I abhor animated films. But, I would suggest you might consider the switch. Idiot.
In some aspects this movie here is almost a xerox copy from Peter Jackson's "Havenly Creatures" (1994)- a gem from New Zeland featuring a young (and then unknown to world wide Cinema) tallented british actress called Kate Winslet (simply fantastic already in early days) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110005/ (imdb rating 7.6).You MUST check it out.
"Cracks" trailler got me firstly saying eyes-wide-open: "Rip off"... But the second half of it revealed some sensitive plot differences. And I admit: yes, the movies are different - yet simillar. Nevertheless, there are scenes almost the same of Jackson's work... Even the speeches seem the same, thus I actually thought "WOW... a 'Heavenly Creatures' remake" when i saw the trailler.
I repeat: you MUST check it out (IMHO "HC" is a far superior piece of movie art - narrative scheme, screenplay, directing etc.).
A great film that, by the way, I was lucky to watch in the theater and purchase the dvd a while after. Peter Jackson was pratically unknown back then (well... I had already known him from his trash 'masterpiece' "Brainded" - a sort of contemporary Ed Wood flick which made "Havenly Creatures" even more of a pleasant surprise for me).
"In some aspects this movie here is almost a xerox copy from Peter Jackson's 'Heavenly Creatures' (1994)" Well, not too much. Costar Imogen Poots described it accurately as "derivative" of The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie and Lord Of The Flies.
