Screening of Monsieur Lazhar at the French Film Festival 2013
Monsieur Lazhar by Director Philippe Falardeau. “This nominee for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film tells the poignant story of a Montreal middle school class shaken by the death of their well-liked teacher. Bachir Lazhar (Mohamed Fellag), a 55-year-old Algerian immigrant, offers the school his services as a substitute teacher and is quickly hired. As he helps the children heal, he also learns to accept his own painful past. This moving film features exquisite performances by Fellag and a stunning ensemble of child actors.” (Description from Music Box Films)
