Director Laurent Cantet delivers an astonishingly powerful film set in one year during a class in a multi-ethnic neighborhood of Paris. Based on the novel by François Bégaudeau who wrote the script and stars as well. The film is specific in its setting but story is timeless and universal and imaginable in almost any big city in the Western world. It shows the struggles of teachers and students beyond their means while their cultures clash on daily basis. This film blows away every Hollywood film set in a class room. YRCinema's coverage of the AFI Fest 2008.
