teachers of the world, you have got to see it..., 28 October 2008
8/10

As a former user said, "teachers of the world, you have got to see it...". I happen to teach myself at the University and they just showed "L'Ecole Buissonnière" tonight, at the late show, on the National French TV France 2. What a good surprise it has been ! Actually, this is a very interesting movie of the late 40s, based upon the personal experience of Célestin Freinet, in 1920, but the subject is still all the rage. No doubt that all those who enjoyed "The Dead Poets Society", "Mona Lisa's Smile", "Looking for Forrester" or "Les Choristes" will appreciate it. Not to mention more recent titles, such as "L'Esquive" and .... the 2008 Palme d'or in Cannes, Bertrand Cantet's "Entre Les Murs".
