The Class (Entre les murs) April 24th - April 30th Oscar Nomination: Best Foreign Language Film of the Year, Academy Awards, USA Golden Palm, Cannes Film Festival Best Foreign Film, Independent Spirit Awards 100% Top Critics rating! — Rottentomatoes.com a "This unassuming movie will nail you to your seat." — Slate "The movie is bursting with life, energy, fears, frustrations and the quick laughter of a classroom hungry for relief." — Roger Ebert "I would be surprised if this brilliant and touching film didn't become required viewing for teachers all over the United States. Everyone else should see it as well--it's a wonderful movie." — The New Yorker Based on an autobiographical novel by Francois Begaudeau, a drama that follows the year in the life of a French schoolteacher working at a high-school in a tough neighborhood of Paris. Ethnicities, cultures and attitudes often clash in the classroom. As amusing and inspiring as the teenage students can be, their difficult behavior can still jeopardize any teacher's enthusiasm for the low-paying job. Francois insists on an atmosphere of respect and diligence. Neither stuffy nor severe, his extravagant frankness often takes the students by surprise. But his classroom ethics are put to the test when his students begin to challenge his methods. 2008/ 129mins/ French/ PG13/ subt. [Watch the trailer]
