Monsieur Lazhar
The subtlety and discretion with which the revelation is handled says much about “Monsieur Lazhar,” Mr. Falardeau’s fourth feature film, adapted from a one-person play by Evelyne de la Chenelière. The film, which was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign language film, picked up six Genies (Canadian Oscars), including best picture, director, adapted screenplay and actor. The title character is powerfully embodied by Fellag, an Algerian theater director and actor known for his one-man shows, who has lived in Paris since 1995.
“A classroom is a place of friendship, of work, of courtesy, a place of life.”
The silent dignity of exile may be a subject for memoir, perhaps, or for poetry, but, to judge from this tempered, overrefined movie, it requires an explosion or two to make it a subject for drama.
