Review of The Class (2008) by John A — 01 Mar 2009
Another strong film from Cantet. The camera spends most of its time in close-up, removing any strong sense of objectivity. The accumulation of scenes within the classroom do such a nice job observing that a number of issues are raised--anywhere from immigration to discipline.
Excellent film. It's just refreshing to see a film like this with realistic characters--a teacher struggling to help and students that show fleeting flashes of getting it, with lots of tension in between.
