Has anyone here seen The Class? It was one of our movies this week. I absolutely loved it.
Also saw The Appeared and The Soloist. Both were ok, however one got better, the other...did not. I will leave you to ponder which is which.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Our wings are not tired.
It is French and it is divine.

Oh okay, I've seen that (and liked it very much). The teacher is basically playing himself--he's a former teacher and the movie is based on his novel.

Hey. New board.
I found it rather painful, especially when my dad, afterwards, said "I hope your students act better than that!" to which I could only reply: "Oh, mine are WAY worse."
It may have been part of my decision to leave urban public schools.
It was a good movie, though.

The Class is by Laurent Cantet, and it is indeed an amazing movie. Cantet's one of the best working today.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to watch I pugni in tasca (Fists in the Pocket) in preparation for Bellocchio's Vincere tomorrow, but I just can't get into it.

Never seen it! I'm watching Ophuls' Lola Montes right now. Ah, so sumptuous.
