"Lively is an odd word for something called Dead Man's Chest, but lively it is. You won't find hotter action, wilder thrills or loopier laughs this summer." -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"It does deliver a combustible combination of ingredients for a summer blockbuster: a cornucopia of action and dazzling effects, some raucous humor and a large dose of Depp's winning charm."

MONSIEUR LAZHAR
Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, a disturbing image and brief language | 94 min
Written and Directed by Phillipe Falardeau | 2011 | Canada | In French w/Subtitles
Nominated For Academy Award - Best Foreign Language Film
WINNER OF SIX GENIE AWARDS ( Canadian Academy Awards) - Including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.
Bachir Lazhar, an Algerian immigrant, is hired to replace an elementary school teacher who died tragically. While the class goes through a long healing process, nobody in the school is aware of Bachir's painful former life; nor that he is at risk of being deported at any moment. Adapted from Evelyne de la Cheneliere's play, Bachir Lazhar depicts the encounter between two distant worlds and the power of self-expression. Using great sensitivity and humor, Philippe Falardeau follows a humble man who is ready to transcend his own loss in order to accompany children beyond the silence and taboo of death. (Music Box Films)
"Fellag, a comedian and himself an exile from Algeria, makes Lazhar both a sensitive and an amusing figure. And the kids are just terrific, especially Emilien Neron as a boy who carries the guilt of the whole school on his shoulders." -Bob Mondello, NPR
"Like no other film about middle school life that I can recall Monsieur Lazhar conveys the intensity and the fragility of these classroom bonds and the mutual trust they require." -Stephen Holden, New York Times
"What makes the film enthralling is the wisdom and grace with which it addresses the twin subjects of grief and healing, and the quiet beauty of Mohamed Fellag's performance in the title role." -Joe Morgenstern, Wall St. Journal
