  • Monsieur Lazhar

From Philippe Falardeau (La Moitié gauche du frigo, Congorama, C’est pas moi, je le jure!) and the producers of last year’s smash-hit Incendies comes Monsieur Lazhar, one of the most gripping québécois films of the last decade. Expanded from a one-character play by Evelyne de la Chenelière’s, set in a Montreal elementary school, this beautifully crafted character study speaks of loss and death, innocence and guilt, imposture and honesty, in an eloquent and complex, yet simple and fluid manner.
