Entre Les Murs (2008)

Laurent Cantet's "Entre Les Murs" is an inspring cinematic experience. The entire movie literally takes place "entre les murs", with the characters point of views colliding in close-ups. Cantet looks at his all too-familiar material with wide-open eyes, like a scientist. But who is the subject of this experiment? The students, the teachers, or just about everyone involed? In fact, the very abstraction of the film(or the experiment) seems to question itself: What about beyond "les murs"? Is it even possible to find answers when the truth is so much more complicated(and possibly beyond rationality)?

Finally, the most important question of all: What about the prices on that new coffee machine?

possibly the best thing I read about the film, though I'm still not convinced. I enjoyed watching it throughout, but in no way I was affected in a profound way...

The second best thing I had read about "entre les murs" was that the main character acquires a new perspective on life from failure, the way that was treated in the film was interesting. The author of that comment also noted that the director uses failure as a theme in his other films also...

i don't know...
