Skirt Day - 2008 - 5/10
AKA - La Journée de la Jupe

Manipulative French drama of overwrought teacher in schoolroom Hell.
Students mouth off, bully, grope, text, heckle, anything but learn.
No expulsions, probations, or accountability.
During a scuffle a gun falls from a bag, which the teacher seizes to force feeds her class “lessons.”
Despite outside reporters and SWAT team, the film feels stagey. Like a one set play with monologues.
Male students loom large and menacing, and there seems to be an anti-Islamic undercurrent.
