  Être et avoir / Etre et avoir / To Be and to Have / 2002 / film review / Nicolas Philibert   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
An extraordinarily captivating portrait of a primary school teacher and his class of infants, Être et avoir is one of the most surprising French films to be released in 2002, and has proven to be an unexpected success.
Être et avoir demonstrates how it is possible to make a documentary which is every bit as compelling and entertaining as a scripted film, whilst having that feeling of spontaneity and intimacy which a conventional film will always lack.
Magnificent in its simplicity and eloquence, Être et avoir manages to be both a heart-rendingly moving film on the one-hand and a hugely entertaining film on the other.

 Eye Weekly - The write stuff - 01.09.03
When the documentary Etre et avoir (To Be and To Have) premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, it seemed too small and precious to ever get a theatrical release.
While watching kids do their homework is something adults generally pay others to do so that they can go to the movies, in Etre et avoir, it's revealed as fascinating entertainment in itself.
He likens Etre et avoir to a fairy tale, in that it follows a group of characters "along the rocky path of learning to read, write, count and, in the end, grow up." While some of the characters are undeniably cute, Philibert argues that the film itself isn't.

 Ecran Noir / Festival de Cannes 2002/ Etre et Avoir
L'élite parisienne méprise un peu L'Adversaire, de Garcia, et vante les émrites de ce film gauchiste et psycho-social, voire politique en ces temps où l'on en manque tant.
Mais Etre et Avoir est programmé pour être la surprise de l'année : il faut faire revivre le documentaire, genre sur-sollicité.
Et lorsqu’on voit ces enfants, on ne peut s’empêcher de penser que leur vie est triste, qu’en effet l’école est une sorte de salut.

Nicolas Philibert’s film Etre et Avoir is a documentary about a remote school in the mountains of France.
Etre et Avoir is a masterpiece and its echoes reach back into the classic French cinema.
Renoir’s Lunch on the Grass, and Bresson’s Diary of a Country Priest and Au Hasard Balthazar spring to mind as films whose images, in their own ways, also represent the idiosyncratic citizenry of rural France.

It may be a documentary but you cannot watch \"être et avoir\" without feeling the snow, and the warmth as you enter the classroom, smelling the grass, and the cows in the milking shed and above all wanting to be there with the children.
Etre et Avoir is made up of a variety of scenes, each of which unfolds gradually and in real time.
Nicolas Philibert’s documentary sensation Etre Et Avoir focuses on a small village school, deep in the French region of Auvergne, where children aged four to ten are all taught by the same man: the serious, bespectacled, bearded, fl-clad, vaguely boho professeur Georges Lopez.

 Être et Avoir - Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Yet Nicolas Philibert's 'Être et Avoir' offers an antidote to this cliche - it is a documentary set in rural France, the teacher is something of a traditionalist, near retirement age, and he teaches his pupils only enough to get them into middle school.
He also has an eye for the poetic, and in one particular scene a search for a missing girl through tall fields of wheat is transformed into a spectacular and striking image of the world as an all-engulfing place of mystery and menace.
As a powerful meditation on time and education, 'Être et Avoir' is truly inspirational, but not on the unattainably idealised scale of Hollywood.

Philibert beautifully captures the parallels between the turning of the world and the unfolding school year as infants settle into learning nad gauche youngsters look forward to middle school.
Etre et Avoir works as a countryside companion to Bernard Tavernier's fictional It All Starts Today about urban working class French schoolchildren.
This is a captivating image of teaching as vocation where lessons don't merely run from 9-5, and where the development of the whole child is paramount.

 Film Review: Etre et Avoir
Georges loses his composure as he says goodbye to his pupils, some of whom will not return the next year, and the audience certainly shares his resignation in letting the children go home on this last day.
Etre et Avoir is a wonderful, warm and innocent film that every parent and teacher must see and that is highly recommended to everyone else.
An added bonus is that subtitles can generally be ignored by anyone who considers that their French is on a par with a 4 year old's!
