In director Tony Kaye’s Detachment, Adrien Brody stars as Henry Barthes, an educator with a profound ability to connect with his students. However, Henry has chosen to bury his gift. By spending his days as a substitute teacher, never staying anywhere long enough to form an attachment with either students or colleagues, he conveniently avoids any emotional connections. When a new assignment places him at a public school where a frustrated, burned-out administration has created an apathetic student body, Henry soon becomes a role model to the disaffected youth. In finding an unlikely emotional connection to the students, teachers, and a runaway teen he takes in from the streets, Henry realizes that he’s not alone in his urgent struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

The film screens Friday, May 11 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, May 12 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.; and Sunday, May 13 at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. General admission is $9. Free for UM students. To purchase tickets online or for more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.
