Try the 20/20 in our teachers and cinema quiz, volume 3. The All Saints holidays are over, it’s already time to go back to school… Will you find out which film each of these belongs to? teacher pictures?
Teachers have inspired many films, in all styles, as our quiz above illustrates: drama, comedy, documentary… On the cinema side, the last recent example of a film about school is L’Ecole est à we by Alexandre Castagnetti, with Sarah Suco, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Oussama Kheddam…
The pitch: Virginie Thévenot, a somewhat special maths teacher, takes advantage of a general strike in a college to try an extraordinary experience with a small group of students. She takes a gamble: let them do what they want… A spark that will ignite the spirits of teenagers, cause a small revolution within the college and turn their lives upside down.
How to renew the school film? This is the bet taken by this comedy, The School is ours, released on October 26, with an original starting point, which seems quite crazy, but not so improbable. “She is a teacher who researches, who decides to do an experiment with the students to do something different from what we are used to seeing in teaching.“, details the actress Sarah Suco at our microphone, and main teacher of this French comedy.
“Most films on education make a rather pessimistic conclusion. Personally, I absolutely wanted to propose something optimistic, with a semblance of utopia, and to do so, we had to be credible, and draw inspiration from experiences that have been tried – particularly in Northern Europe“, develops Alexandre Castagnetti, director and co-screenwriter of The School is ours.” This therefore required that Virginie (Sarah Suco) be able to carry out hers with a small group of students and a reason had to be found for this secondary school teacher to be able to work in this way.“
After La Colle or Tamara 1 and 2, Alexandre Castagnetti is once again directing a film aimed at adolescent audiences. The School is ours has been in theaters since Wednesday, October 26.
