But ultimately it's a fascinating, sometimes exhilarating movie that seems to make a genuine contact with the classroom, and shows us an educational system struggling, and managing, to survive.

Most impressive, Cantet tracks the racial and ethnic resentments that simmer beneath the classroom discussions but become harder to quell when the parents get involved.

The Class, an Oscar-nominated French film about a Paris middle school, should be required viewing for anybody considering a career in teaching.

The fact that it's based on a book written by a former teacher who also stars in the film gives it more than a bit of authenticity
