Up to date - The Big Hit review by CSF
A very pleasant film to watch. Very realistic. I recognized some of the problems I had when I was a teacher in a prison. I failed to make them perform a play, mainly because of my lack of continuous will power and courage. And also the little interest of the prison staff who see problems only. Kad Merad, the teacher is both a fantastic actor and a fantastic teacher. This is a very entertaining and useful film. It should be shown in schools and prisons of course. Why, ô why in England a "useful" film is not considered as entertainment???
The other actors are remarkable, they make you believe it is a documentary.
