{"product_id":"to-be-and-to-have","title":"To Be and to Have","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe National Society of Film Critics awarded Nicolas Philibert's lovely To Be and to Have a 2003 Best Documentary prize for its pastoral grace and subtle power. Philibert spent a period filming the rhythms and activities within a one-room schoolhouse in France's rural Auvergne region, where a soft-spoken teacher of 35 years, Georges Lopez, instructs pre-middle school children of varying ages in everything from reading to the making of crepes. The tall, mesmerizing Lopez, nearing retirement, is both a formidable and loving presence in his classroom, and the bucolic remoteness of his school has a way of amplifying such ordinary student dramas as fights, lagging grades, and painful shyness. Philibert gets a lot of mileage out of the antics of a loveable kid named Jojo, the decaying friendship of two older boys, and the grief of a young man whose father has cancer. A unique and moving experience. --Tom Keogh\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0002MFFG0\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0002MFFG0.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Aliz|Georges Lopez|Axel|Guillaume|Jessie|Johan|Johann|Julien|Jonathan|Laura|Marie-Elizabeth|Ltitia|Nicolas Philibert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
