The Class


Entre Les Murs (Between The Walls) or the US version, The Class, wasn't my favorite movie, but the experience surrounding the film was interesting.

We went to the Landmark Century Theater last Friday with Mike, Giselle, and Giselle's friend's boyfriend, Stephane. Stephane has lived in Houston for the past two years but is previously from France. It was an enlightening situation to get Stephan's perfective not only on the movie, but various other topics that were discussed during the evening. It's not everyday that you get to see a foreign film and sit next to someone who's from the country of the film.

The movie itself was rather long and didn't tell much of a story. It was slow moving and provided more of a "looking in" perspective as opposed to a any sort of creative feeling. Maybe I was expecting something more, but it didn't capture my interest.
