To Be and to Have (2002)

The documentary's title translates as "to be and to have", the two auxiliary verbs in the French language. It is about a primary school in the commune of Saint-Étienne-sur-Usson, Puy-de-Dôme, France, the population of which is just over 200. The school has one small class of mixed ages (from four to twelve years), with a dedicated teacher, Georges Lopez, who shows patience and respect for the children as we follow their story through a single school year.

Extraordinary. From a technical point of view, I loved how this utterly went against the commonly received wisdom that you can't stick with one camera angle for the whole of a sequence and keep your audience's attention. There's no conflict, no tension, no 3 acts, no 22 steps, no nonsense. Just a beautifully filmed glimpse of French rural life. Love the boy doing long multiplication whose entire family tries to help him puzzle it out!

Brilliantly made documentary about a one-room schoolhouse in rural France, which would have been almost perfect even without the teacher being the greatest teacher in the history of the world. A wonderful jewel of a film.

From the opening shot you realize that this one room school house is a safe and special place. The gentle way this teacher molds and shapes the minds and character of his pupils is really inspirational. The cinematography is beautiful and the true life drama that unfolds outside the classroom is remarkably moving.

A wonderful WONDERFUL film about being a real teacher and caring about children. Each child has a story, the land has a story, and the way in which it all flows together is beautiful.
