Summary: The tense environment of a tough inner-city school where cultures and attitudes often clash is revealed in this award-winning drama based on Francois Begaudeau's best-selling novel Between the Walls. Begaudeau himself stars as an idealistic teacher of a class of unruly 15 year-olds, whose spiky independence present constant challenges to his sometimes unconventional teaching methods. Featuring an outstanding non-professional cast of real teachers and students, Laurent Cantet's gripping and sharply observed film offers a microcosm of contemporary society and explores the difficult issues facing education today.
