Etre et Avoir ("To Have and To Hold"; 2002)


Location: Rachel's
Seen Before: No
Rating: 4.5

An interesting documentary assembled in a way that keeps out interviews or narration, instead letting the viewer simply observe the students and their sole teacher, Mr. Lopez. This lack of traditional documentary style is perhaps missed at the beginning, but soon enough the individual personalities of both the children and Lopez become so engaging that, when it's time for the kids to part ways for the summer, you might find yourself welling up.
