You Better Wake Up And Pay Attention: The Best High School Struggle Movies
The Class
French language and literature school teacher Francois Begardeau was so inspired from his time in front of the classroom that he eventually wrote a semi-biographical novel of his account. The novel was turned into a film and Begardeau played himself in The Class. Begardeau was faced with the tough task to get his classroom of 14- and 15-year-olds interested in literature and writing. The Class, which was originally titled Entre Les Murs, was so well received, it won numerous awards and accolades both in France and internationally.
