The Class
Why this pick
Cantet’s immersive, semi-improvised realism again makes a group discussion space feel volatile, morally complex, and alive to social fracture.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Olivia, a well-known Parisian novelist, runs a writing workshop with a group of young people in La Ciotat, in the South of France. She is particularly intrigued by Antoine, a taciturn and not very sociable, young man. Antoine makes writing proposals that others consider shocking, and becomes the "black sheep" of the group. Olivia and Antoine seek escape from their daily lives by immersing themselves in an extreme right-wing ideology, and develop a relationship that is marked by attraction and repulsion.
