Entre les Murs came out briefly with a new American title at the end of 2008 in order to qualify for the Academy Awards.   I saw it then and again in January 2009 when it began a New York run.  All I can say is that this film—about the difficulties teaching and learning in a French classroom of mostly African immigrants—is one you can thoroughly enjoy once.  Twice will drive you up the wall.  It’s not the young amateur actors, not at all; they are as engaging and spot on in their delivery at second viewing as they are at first (even if their characters are boringly repetitive).  What was difficult to stomach was the endless talk, talk, talk, of the French teachers at their interminable staff meetings.  Yes, the director was driving home a point about the bureaucratic ways of assimilation into La France, but it was brutal to sit through.
