This is one of my favourite movies of all time. I agree that it certainly comes across as pretentious but it was a great modernisation of film noir with some really funny dark undertones.
It seems odd that at 1st that there would be film noir set within a high school but it's the perfect setting considering the school hierachy keeps it all tight knit, insestuous and claustrophobic yet allows for the diversity of character and ease of understanding narrative through their stereotypes.
