Comedy
Film Synopsis
Jules Ferry High School is the worst performing school in France. Only
twelve per cent of its students get to pass their baccalaureate, and so far
every attempt to improve this lamentable record has failed disastrously.
The Inspector of Schools is ready to admit defeat but he agrees to make one
last-ditch attempt to rescue the school before he gives up and has it closed
down. Taking the advice of his deputy, he decides to fight fire with
fire, by recruiting the worst teachers imaginable. Well, desperate
situations call for desperate measures...
It seems there is no shortage of bad teachers looking for work. Within
no time, the French school from Hell is equipped with the most tyrannical
English teacher on the planet, Glady, and an educator who is so hopeless
that he has failed to pass his teaching diploma eighteen times. It
looks like a recipe for disaster - the worst of teachers tasked with educating
the worst of pupils, but at least the conscience of the schools inspector
can rest easily when the experiment fails. And if the school's exams
record doesn't show a marked improvement he is more than justified in having
the school bulldozed to the ground. Every nightmare must end sooner
or later - in theory...

The best of American cinema
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
