The
filmic version of what Truman Capote had in mind when he talked about a "nonfiction novel." The vast majority of the film takes place in the classroom (and virtually all of it in the school) of a high school teacher named
François Marin, played by
François Bégaudeau, the high school teacher whose memoir is the basis for the film. We spend a school year w/ Marin and his
multiethnic class, and much of what we learn is how badly someone with the best intentions can screw up. A painfully beautiful film.
