Storia
Jean, a PE teacher in the late 1980s at an all-girls school in Newcastle upon Tyne, leads a closeted life due to societal pressures and the conservative climate of Thatcherism. Her double life becomes threatened when a new student arrives who suspects Jean's sexuality. As the student begins to bully her and threatens to expose Jean's secret, Jean is pushed to extreme lengths to keep her job and maintain her integrity.
Riassunto
Blue Jean (2022) is a British drama film directed by Georgia Oakley, set against the backdrop of late 1980s Newcastle upon Tyne during Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government. The film explores themes of sexuality, secrecy, and self-preservation as its protagonist, Jean, navigates her role as a PE teacher while living a double life due to societal homophobia and the harsh moral climate of the era. Oakley's directorial debut delves into the complexities of gender roles, bullying, and LGBTQ+ experiences during this period.
