The Class

France

The daily life of a teacher of French in a present-day Paris school. This was a fictionalized treatment of the protagonist's own experience and was done with such verisimilitude that for the entire film I thought it was a documentary. 

This showed the nature of an ongoing dynamic that is teaching...the thrust and parry, the engagement that teachers go through trying to "educate" teenagers in a traditional system. It succeeded in making me glad I'm not a teacher.

Outstanding work.
