Campus Film Series
The Class
Thursday-Sunday, October 1-4
Davies Theatre | 6pm & 8:30pm
Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, this documentary-like drama covers one year in a high-school classroom in a tough suburban Paris neighborhood. Cultures and attitudes
often clash as a young teacher of French engages
his teenaged students in verbal jousting. 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. Based
on the semi-autobiographical novel by François Bégaudeau, who stars. “This unassuming movie will nail you to your seat,” wrote Slate.
