A remarkable film charting life in an inner city multicultural high school in Paris. Exploring the honest (if sometimes misguided) attempts of a teacher to help his pupils even when faced with apathy and racial divide, The Class is a refreshing, exhilarating and totally compelling movie. Taking into consideration that the ensemble cast are all non-actors and a lot of the dialogue was improvised only makes it even more of a sensational effort by director Laurent Cantet. A film without stereotypes and clichés, the 2008 Palme d'Or winner is a uniquely thought provoking tale which raises many important questions without offering up easy answers.

It completely exceeded all my expectations and should win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. It is a departure for Laurent Cantet, whose movies are typically more adult. I wasn't sure I would be all that interested in the film. However, the characters were fleshed-out and relevant to the changing racial tone in Paris, now that the city is becoming more diversified.
