What Monsieur Lazhar Is About
A class teacher at a Montreal primary school takes her own life in the classroom. The Algerian immigrant who replaces her has to deal with the children and with his own past. The film does not present therapy as the answer; the narrative criticises the school's insistence on not talking about it and shows that children can speak as plainly as adults. His own loss is explained late and in few words. Philippe Falardeau directed, with Mohamed Fellag in the lead. It was nominated for the foreign language film Oscar. A real warning: the film opens with a suicide and it stays at the centre throughout. It is not suitable for children.
