| Summary: | At a tough inner-city school in Paris, a dedicated teacher named Mr. Marin (François Bégaudeau) begins the new term.

The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, The Class is both powerful and provocative, "an artful, intelligent movie" (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times) based on Bégaudeau's best-selling autobiographical novel. |
