Laurent Cantet’s award-winning portrait of a year in an inner-city Paris school is a magnificent adaptation of his semi-autobiographical novel, Entre Le Murs.
Non-professionals play the pupils and teachers, while schoolmaster François Bégaudeau plays himself, in what is a consistently thought-provoking and fascinating docu-drama, right up there with that other French school masterpiece, 2002’s Etre et Avoir.
