In an elite private boys’ school founded on tradition and discipline, English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) encourages his students to embrace love, romance and poetry.
Peter Weir’s beloved film charts the students’ awakening as they break free from convention and adopt a bold new motto: carpe diem.
‘When I watch Dead Poets Society I am reminded that time is precious; that, in the words of Bob Dylan, he not busy being born is busy dying. Dead Poets Society teaches us to resolve to lead lives of passion and conviction.’ – The Guardian
