One major subtitle fail
24 April 2021 - 12 out of 17 users found this review helpful.
Toward the end of the movie, Alexis asks the teacher a question about David, which is subtitled: "Did he seduce you, too?" The teacher replies something like: "Yes, but he was my student, and I was his teacher." This is confusing to an English speaker, because the teacher seems at once to be admitting to and denying a physical relationship with David. The confusion is owing to the subtitles. In French the verb Alexis uses is séduire, which can mean seduce. But it can also mean.attract, charm, allure, beguile, etc. From the teacher's answer, it's clear that the subtitle should use one of these words, and not seduce, because the point is that while David charmed the teacher, and perhaps tried actively to seduce him, he did not succeed.
