Entre les MursWinner 0f the 2008 Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival
Entre les Murs is movie by director Laurent Cantet based on an autobiographical story by teacher Francois Bégaudeau. Cantet goes for a realistic/documentary style of filmaking by casting Bégaudeau as himself and actual students as the students. Having actually gone to a french high school this movie felt so real to me.
The individuality of each of the characters is stunning and the friction between the students doesn't ever seem forced. The movie smartly and realistically tackles teacher/student relations bringing up notions of respect and authority, among others.
The movie is what one would expect from a Palme d'Or winner, a very good smart and insightful movie.
