The year ends on an lighthearted note with a soccer game between students and teachers. Marin joins in, and becomes the hero of the hour when he scores an artistic and much-applauded goal. Update this section! Success comes when he asks the pupils to write a self-portrait. An assertive girl called Esmeralda reveals that she would like to be a policewoman or failing that, a rapper. A difficult boy called Souleymane, weak in written French, submits his story in an interesting series of photographs (at a parents' evening, his mother cannot speak French at all). However, after an argument over football teams with Will, another boy who is problematic, Souleymane insults François and is sent to the head teacher's office. en-US) Manohla Dargis et A. O.

As with any new school year, Francois and his fellow teachers anxiously look forward to the new crop of students as well as those returning, wanting to provide the best education possible to these young people. Despite frustration and problems in the past, the faculty is optimistic and enthusiastic, desiring to challenge and educate not only their students, but themselves. Concentrating primarily on two dozen students in a language class where proper French vocabulary and grammar is the focus of attention (yes kids, even in France students are taught, or forced to endure, grammar), we are privy to this microcosmic intimate portrait and anthropological study of teachers and students. What makes this film so compelling though, is the interaction between the students and their teacher, Francois. But the biggest surprise comes from the fact that the “students” in the film are not Francois’ students, but are, in fact, students from Francoise Dolto Junior High in the 20th arrondissement, all of whom were ultimately cast for this film after taking part in acting workshops held by Cantet. It is their “acting” and ability to bring realism to their scripted roles that bring it all home, making THE CLASS the success that it is.
