Yesterday started out being one of these black days that seem like it's evening, then the sun came out and we went for a swim. Then to see the movie Monsieur Lazhar at the International Village Cinemas. Great deal with free parking and then we went to the foodcourt and picked up butter chicken, lamb curry, naan, and popadoms for take out. Wonderful food and dined looking out a a magnificent sunset.
I highly recommend the movie...a real treat.
Storyline:
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.
