Some summaries

1: what I longed for after the movie : Cola, McDonalds, internet, digicams, iPods, strobes, lasers, crazy electronic, neon, discotheques, advertising, TV, fluorescent blue stereos, Nike, Puma, racing cars.

2: words that start with kut and apply to this documentary: village, children, teacher, school, farmers, cows, trees, weather, fields.

This is my personal hell. The pinnacle of deadly dullness. What good is a little one with such a terrible wool sweater (which I never wanted to wear before) who takes 10 minutes with his family to do some calculations. Desolate is the only word that stays with me. Desolate in all its aspects.

One beautiful scene, when the class says goodbye to the teacher. The only moment when I felt the slightest bit of empathy for one of the people.

Not that that saves the film from the 0.5* ... one of the worst things I've seen. This movie embodies everything I don't like.

Not a traditional film, but a documentary about a class. Well, it wasn't wrong and it was nice to see.

I'm not really blown away by it now, but it certainly wasn't a bad idea either.
