Both an exorcism of contemporary academia and a comedic portrait of an artist seeking the means to survive

At once angry and jubilant, Ray Levy's School is a curse on a dying system and an incantation for transforming pain into a vessel for capacious, creative selfhood.

A dissertation manuscript possessed by the spirit of Marquis de Sade; a lecture on psychoanalysis delivered as stand-up comedy by a dysphoric graduate student; a review of a found-footage horror movie that's also a YouTube video of a conference presentation on French theory; an interview with an avant-garde filmmaker that's really an invocation for conjuring your demon brother; oversharing and withholding, chanting and channeling, School is a slapstick roast of Derrida's corpse and a mystical vision of a life in which you have not lost.
