One of the most poignant and memorable documentaries ever made. I watched this on the big screen when it came out and wanted to share it with my husband and Daughter, hence the dvd purchase.

This is what school and school teachers should be like I was lucky I had this sort of country school. This is a charming film.

This is a fabulous film throughout. Moving and funny, it depicts life in a French provincial school exactly as it happens.....an idyllic education from a superb educator.... a school life every child deserves. Beautiful cinematography and easy to read subtitles, Etre et Avoir is definitely worth watching whether you speak French or not. One of my favourite films of all time and enjoyed equally by my children.... A must-see movie!!!! 5/5!!!
This is excellent film, about a small, one classroom French village primary school, run by a dedicated teacher. Action takes you from the early junior years, right to the time for the senior students to leave and enter the secondary school. Even though classified as a documentary, it is handled without any comments from a narrator, all talking being done by the dialogue between the teacher and pupils, the action being laid out for the viewer to decide for him/herself about what is going on. A very emotional, beautifully handled film, which you will love, guaranteed!
An astonishing insight into the life of a tiny French school, intrusive in some ways, but beautiful and touching. Inspirational viewing for anyone with an interest in education. This is not a story, more an observation of real life.
