The Class
Teacher and novelist François Bégaudeau plays a version of himself as he negotiates a year with his racially mixed students from a tough Parisian neighborhood.
Critic Reviews:
- " Most impressive, Cantet tracks the racial and ethnic resentments that simmer beneath the classroom discussions but become harder to quell when the parents get involved. " – J. R. Jones
- " Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2008. " – Richard Propes
- " The Class is a riveting, authentic experience. " – David Harris
