New Release Tuesday: Monsieur Lazhar

NEW RELEASE TUESDAY


Monsieur Lazhar
I thought this was from France but it's actually
from Canada. They speak French in the whole movie.
This film was nominated at the Academy Awards this year
for Best Foreign Film.

The movie was more towards the depressing side.

Had some cute moments with the kids.

suicide, refugees, and loss of a family.
But it's about accepting and letting go.

As a fan of Foreign films, I had to see it.
I wouldn't buy it, though.


This movie was accompanied by a French white wine
with Artichoke Dip and French Baguette:
