La Classe is a 2008 French drama film directed by Laurent Cantet based on the 2006 novel of the same name by François Bégaudeau and starring the author as François Marin, a semi-fictional version of himself.
The story takes place over a single academic year inside a racially and socioeconomically mixed middle school in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. François Marin is a French language and literature teacher who tries to engage his rowdy, opinionated 14 and 15 year-old students using open debates, grammar exercises, and creative challenges. Rather than acting as a strict teacher, he navigates daily friction with pragmatic realism.
