Review of The Class (2008) by Peter J — 16 Apr 2009
Nicely constructed movie with stunning performances from teenage actors. Nice to know that the French Lycee system can be as horrible as ours. The subtitle translations seemed slightly off - for instance I think the key accusation from the girls translated better as 'tramp' than 'prostitute'.
This makes more sense in the context of the film and the teacher/students relationship. The whole atmosphere of the classroom was beautifully captured and it's not far from the truth. I also think that the French title of the film was lost in translation.
