The Class

E:
Some of my favorite moobies were Palme d'Or Winners at the Cannes Film Festival: Black Orpheus, The Conversation, Blow-Up, Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, The Piano, Pulp Fiction, Dancer in the Dark, Elephant. But in the past few years, the jury hasn't picked so well. Is it the lack of films to choose from? Is it merely a reflection of the ebb and flow of films out there? Every decade has an amazing selection of winners - Black Orpheus won in 1959, even the 80s had The Mission and Wild at Heart. And the 00s started with the brutal Dancer in the Dark.
But The Child - it was ah-ight. 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days - it was ah-ight. And The Class - it was ah-ight.
It's about a teacher putting up with the adolescent madness of a room full of punk-ass kids. If you want to endure that for a couple hours - watch this film.
