A screencap from the Coen brothers' 2009 film "A Serious Man" (the image has been manipulated for the movie by extending the board vertically). Official trailer.
I have not seen the movie and am not necessarily recommending it, though I have enjoyed their other movies. Posted because the scene above was filmed at St. Olaf College (Northfield, MN), to which my family has longstanding ties.

Hah, I don't remember that visual.
ReplyDeleteI thought it a very good movie, but YMMV. Not a lot happens. Those of the Judaic persuasion will probably pick up a lot of inside jokes.
Looks like college to me. The board was a little shorter with a giant slide rule over the top (which got used two or three times at best as it required a step-stool to reach).
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like the prof is saying, "Any questions? Good. This material will be on Friday's mid-term exam."
