Why watch this film?
The French movie 'Arthur Rambo: Hate on the Web' is a drama that reminds us of the popular saying "Appearances can be deceiving". At the peak of his career as a writer, Karim D. is the victim of a "cancellation" on social media. After offensive tweets that Karim posted in the past under the pseudonym Arthur Rambo come to light, his career collapses. With this premise, director Laurent Cantet manages to raise a very current social issue, launching a powerful critique of the "cancel culture". Its tense atmosphere makes this film an anguishing thriller where actor Rabah Nait Oufella perfectly conveys the gradual collapse of his character.

The Class
With non-actors, the movie brings an emotional load and a unique originality, taking us truly between the walls of the school. Thus, in a genuine way, the story puts into discussion the dilemmas of teaching, the relationship between teachers, students and parents and the most diverse important issues in this universe - which, of course, are also relevant to the whole society. 'Entre os Muros da Escola' received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008.
The Workshop
In this film, director Laurent Cantet (of 'Entre os Muros da Escola') seeks to get inside the minds of today's youth in France. With the use of non-actors - and the life experiences they bring to the scene - the feature film addresses issues such as prejudice, immigration, political extremism and a lack of direction in life among teenagers and young adults. A highly topical work, to make us think and reflect on the world and ourselves.
