MONSIEUR LAZHAR

January 13th, 2012

MONSIEUR LAZHAR- 2011. Synopsis by Netflix. “When an Algerian immigrant seeking asylum in Montreal takes a job replacing an elementary school teacher who committed suicide, he finds that his own secret, tragic background enables him to help the children deal with their loss.”

I saw this at the Palm Springs Film Festival 2012 and loved it. TRDB.
