Prep school English teacher Jack Marcus (CLIVE OWEN) laments his students' obsession with social media and good grades rather than engaging with the power of the written word. A one-time literary star, Jack has not published in years filling his spare time with drink versus the art of language. He meets his match in Dina Delsanto (JULIETTE BINOCHE) -- an abstract painter and new teacher on campus, who was once celebrated for her art. From the start, the two flirt and provoke each other with equal relish. With a performance review looming and his teaching job on the line, Jack hatches an inspired plan for galvanizing student interest in their studies: he declares a war between Words and Pictures, confident that the former can convey greater meaning than the latter. Dina and her art students accept the challenge between Jack and his English students, and the battle lines are drawn...

Press Quotes
It is a joy to see a film that tackles the topic of art and its value in the world, and all the better that actors of Owen's and Binoche's caliber can lead it.
—Dustin Putman, TheFilmFile.com
'Words and pictures' is a very gentle score. That's the feeling I get from almost every cue. The music is soft and round and smooth to touch. It doesn't impose and it's never sharp or abrasive. It flows like honey, just thick and sweet enough to matter.
—Mihnea Manduteanu, www.soundtrackdreams.com
'The Poem' has a bit of warmth as well and has quite a bit of emotion. 'I Am A Small Poem (Instrumental)' is for me the best cue on the score. The melody is great and the cello oozes warmth.
