Where many of Wiseman\u2019s films favor a big picture, a systemic view, Simon often works in more intimate close-up, picking out faces and personalities from a larger institutional community. That warmly sociable <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach serves the veteran French filmmaker well in \u201cElementary,\u201d the latest of several Simon documentaries to be set in and around a place of learning \u2014 in this case, a diversely attended public elementary school in the outer-Paris suburb of Ivry-sur-Seine, also the backdrop for her 2018 high-school portrait \u201cYoung Solitude.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Looking on with keen attention but little obstruction as the school\u2019s staff and student body negotiate daily challenges of education, communication and conflict, \u201cElementary\u201d is a gentle, good-humored film, but not a toothless one \u2014 making as it does an unspoken but resonant plea for France\u2019s squeezed public schooling system via its lively vignettes of classroom and playground activity. Following the relative arthouse success last year of Simon\u2019s imposing healthcare opus \u201cOur Body,\u201d this shorter, brighter work should easily find sympathetic distributors following its premiere in Cannes\u2019 Special Screenings program. Comparisons with Nicolas Philibert\u2019s similarly schoolhouse-focused 2002 specialty hit \u201c\u00catre et Avoir\u201d are easy to make, though they also serve to highlight the modern <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> milieu of Simon\u2019s film \u2014 its corner of working-class Paris in cultural flux, with a substantial immigrant population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    If funding is tight at Makarenko Elementary, that doesn\u2019t dampen the enthusiasm of its teaching staff, whose daily duties span the roles of educator, caregiver and counselor, attending to the special needs of certain individual students while while leading large, often cheerfully garrulous classes. It\u2019s a balance they strike with minimal authoritarianism, preferring instead to relate to the kids on genial, egalitarian terms, with voices hardly ever raised. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Any viewers accustomed to a stodgier educational environment will be struck by the bracing informality on display here, from the teachers\u2019 breezy casualwear and uncovered tattoos to the progressive tone of classroom discourse, in which even testy subjects like religion and the supernatural are opened to constructive, freeform conversation. More adventurous still is a song chosen for a music class: A poignant, extended scene observes a choir of second-graders singing a word-perfect rendition of \u201cDommage\u201d by French hip-hop duo Bigflo &amp; Oli, with its very adult reflections on loneliness, surrendered ambitions and domestic abuse. (Later, a singalong to a French translation of the Disney standard \u201cI Just Can\u2019t Wait To Be King\u201d provides some lighter relief.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    We sit in, too, on more traditionally curriculum-based classes, as pupils are quizzed on multiplication tables and made to parse sentences for parts of speech \u2014 though there\u2019s no rote learning here, with children uncertain of the answers not brusquely corrected, but helpfully coaxed in the right direction. Less obvious activities are granted educational purpose: It\u2019s fascinating to watch pupils pair up and play checkers, aiding not just their logical and strategic thinking, but, when it comes to the respective arts of winning and losing, interpersonal skills too. (\u201cWe\u2019ll be happy for the winner and happy for the loser, for playing to the end,\u201d a teacher sunnily explains.) <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    On the playground, meanwhile, soccer-style red-card timeouts are given for unacceptable behavior, but pupils aren\u2019t micromanaged: Simon\u2019s camera captures the sometimes harsh social rules and restrictions enforced by children without adult supervision. Classes and recess aren\u2019t too rigidly divided, either, if the situation calls for it. One neurodivergent child is given solo playground time, calming himself with laps on his scooter, while his peers are in class; noticing a child asleep at his desk, a teacher instructs the class not to disrupt his needed rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Loose but not haphazard, the film\u2019s porous structure roughly follows two timelines, proceeding from the beginning of a school term to pre-summer graduation, while also outlining the course of a school day. Free from voiceover and talking-head interviews, \u201cElementary\u201d also avoids imposing a narrative on proceedings: Though individual children and teachers are spotlit at particular moments of interest, none are appointed as \u201ccharacters\u201d to be followed consistently through proceedings. Still, certain magnetic figures assert themselves amid the collective \u2014 none more so than Wassim, an outspoken and devout Muslim pupil who becomes the focus of the film\u2019s standout setpiece, a classroom debate about religion that yields more insight than many an adult theology lecture. Insisting the religion you\u2019re raised with can\u2019t be run away from, the boy is incredulous when his teacher suggests you don\u2019t have to be religious at all. A later scene sees him directly quizzing strangers on their religious affiliation; a long-term educational arc is in progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cElementary\u201d is never derailed by rhetoric or politics, however. Even its most heated classroom exchanges are all in a day\u2019s work \u2014 as are exceptions from routine like a rowdy field <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> on a Seine riverboat through central Paris, its supervising teachers exhausted and amused in equal measure, or a costume parade through the residential streets of Ivry-sur-Seine, or, in the teariest of the film\u2019s musical diversions, a graduation-day performance of Rihanna\u2019s \u201cDiamonds\u201d that recalls the same song\u2019s toughly empowering use in C\u00e9line Sciamma\u2019s \u201cGirlhood.\u201d Through this patchwork of activity, Simon tacitly celebrates the labor, patience and creativity that goes into nurturing young minds \u2014 there\u2019s no talk of budget or salary, but the selfless modesty of both is self-evident. To raise a child, it does indeed take a village, or at least a suburb, or at least a school. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
