RED VIC MOVIE HOUSE•To Be and To Have



	To Be and To Have
	Dir. Nicolas Philibert France 2003 This lyrical documentary focuses on one year in the life of a teacher and his students (who range in age from 3 to 11) in a one-room schoolhouse in rural France. Most of the film focuses on the simple events of the day:learning to read, doing addition and subtraction, arguing and scuffling during playtime. To Be and To Have has become hugely successful in France, and its teacher, George Lopez, has become somewhat of a national celebrity. We see some of the children at home on farms, with their hard working and uneducated families. This is a destiny it seems they will likely follow and one we learn Lopez escaped. To Be and To Have has some of the most memorable characters in current cinema. The kids are likeable, funny and smart without cooing to the camera. And Lopez, with his calm and sensitive interactions, will certainly be a teacher they (and you) will never forget. (subtitled; 115m)
