None of this is a bad thing for me and I actually preferred what I saw more than what I Instead I watched something that was drenched in emotion and handled in a very adult way. I knew what it was about going in, but I still thought it would be more of an inspirational tale like what you're used to seeing in movies about teachers and students. It's an emotionally driven film that's about a bunch of people dealing with a devastating tragedy. For a film with no violence or really anything of graphic nature, Monsieur Lazhar is pretty hard hitting at times.
During this time, Lazhar and the kids begin to learn about each other despite the cultural differences and the difficulties that they face. He's given the job as a substitute teacher and meets a host of personable children that have been shaken by the recent events. Despite having his own issues, he goes to the school and asks if he can fill the vacant spot that's been left behind. In the film, an Algerian immigrant named Bachir Lazhar (Mohamed Fellag) hears about the death of a teacher at an elementary school.
Monsieur Lazhar is a film that's based on that very subject and it shows the effects that it has on several individuals and we witness how each of them copes with it in their own way. Your age, race, gender, nationality or religion doesn't matter, because it's something the we have no choice but to experience. As people, we all have to deal with loss.
