The cast of the film should also include "the viewer".
films have never really, but sometimes you get caught by the look of the documentary and try to make us look more plausible things possible.
scopic gaze of the camera is a guest in most of the characters, as if there was a continuous subjective, continuous changes of perspective, sometimes you find yourself among professors, sometimes among the boys, the other half.
Absolutely away from models of teaching as a film about the "Dead Poets Society": here we have professors and other scholars who churn out quotes and culture to donate to many students in uniform, all the same and a good family (as well as with their problems that can have a boyfriend).
But a glimpse of the French school, but the most genuine, sensual, difficult, tricky: it combines economic, experienced and novice teachers, and many ETIN races, a short, multi-ethnic school, where kids are the mirror of the problems facing their families bring with them in classrooms around the weight of the various cultures to which they belong. And professors who do? One in particular is the subject of the gaze of the filmmaker Laurent Cantent, seeks to encourage children to act, to share space, emotions, culture and knowledge with each other, but the professor is a regular guy, no genius, do it with these guys , meet and see so many problems of relationship with them, greatly affects the impact is that of a car against a wall, no idyllic representation, dramatic, romantic school and attempt to educate the children. Here we talk about how things should be vermente in certain classrooms in France, and by synecdoche of all schools in the world who share certain difficulties.
The eye of the director, who then is our view, has the ability to always appear differently depending on the perspective from which it arises: sometimes we find ourselves on the side of students and all that we face and a assistant professor and a blackboard, and their fears, their fears, their background, their differences become unstable in a frame, side dancing, perpetual motion. Other times we as assistant professor, living with his attempts desperate to bring along the kids, we are slandered with him when his words are not understood, are misunderstood, but our sgurado, his, and all those who are on the other side of the small classroom, now is more stable, and there is only one boy in front of school, but an entire "class". The chamber filters in their midst, passing from a fixed position between the benches to get a face to focus on highlights and faded leaves other faces, other colors, shoulders, backs: these are the guys who are on the road every day, made flesh and spirit, inside the buildings should be of the culture, where parents send them to a better future, not send them back the land from which they emigrated.
The figures that are created within the classroom are many, from the bully, the newcomer, to close friends, lover of videogames ... and everything is in balance between what we see and what is not said, just because in real life not everything you know, when we get to the side of the teacher is not always able to understand what happens to those kids, maybe we should say almost as children, we are just at the middle school. Before him as to us, things, relationships evolve, change, behavior change, we will only see the result, we can only imagine what could happen and we will not know nell'emotività if ever is the truth, the room stops where does the school, physically speaking, does not exceed those walls is not by chance the title in French reads: "Entre les murs". 
And those walls between their vision of the filmmaker, as personified in us, it becomes even a little Vouyer, try to understand, to steal something from those guys, watching, peering into the yard to play during recess, behind the window glass, recalling the look of almost absurdly Cronemberg in "History of Violence" at the window of the house while the hero meets his destiny in your own garden.
as well as students within the walls we hear them in the balance, including a possible path that can lead to improvement, or abandoned to see them grow that 'restless guest "which is nihilism and its lately Umberto Galimberti has presented in his book talking about the youth of today!
I hope this film wakes some souls, now fossilized, to those who have power, to understand how all our future in the hands of the school, theme for another very hot here in Italy today. There are two things that can save the world: love and culture ... the school should provide the means to salvation!
