Monsieur
Lazhar
THURSDAY, April 5
PLAYING AT
7:00 PM AT THE LIVERY
After a Montreal elementary school
teacher commits suicide one night after class, she is replaced
by Bachir Lazhar (Fellag), an Algerian immigrant seeking
political refuge in Quebec. As Lazhar introduces traditional
teaching methods to his new class, he begins to develop close
relationships with two of his pupils: a boy traumatized by his
discovery of the former teacher's body, and a girl whose
interpretation of the event provokes unforeseen revelations.
Produced by the team behind the Academy Award-nominated Incendies and
directed by veteran filmmaker Philippe Falardeau, Monsieur
Lazhar is
one of the most acclaimed Québécois films of the last decade and
Canada's submission for the 2011 Academy Award for Best Foreign
Film.
