Laurent Cantet’s “The Class” (“Entre Les Murs”) won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and after much wait, the fantastically vibrant social drama finally has itself an English-Language trailer.
To quote ourselves in our review from the New York Film Festival, “The improvised-feeling, documentary-like picture crackles with spark and vim and tackles issues of race, gender, social status, economic class within the confines of the school room without ever feeling like a didactic lesson. We honestly don’t have enough good things to say about this film and we could probably go on about it for a long time. But suffice to say, there’s a reason why the radiant film is likely going to crack our top 10 at the end of year.”
That may overstate the case a bit as that was back in September and the top 10 is getting crowded with lots of contenders, but it’ll certainly vie for a spot.
