La cour

It takes place in a school, not high school, and it is a deep characcter study, pupils behavior among themselves. It is made by people who know very well this atmosphere: teachers or school principals.... It is very accurate, cliché ridden, sometimes disturbing if you have children of this age - between ten and fifteen - and who can live those kinds of situations. It's not brutal nor gloomy but makes you to think about it, or discover if you are not concerned. One excellent film about schools, and I am afraid it may be underrated. But I have seen movies really downbeat, harsh, depressing, concerning those children relations in a school. This one is definitely not.
