THE COMPETITION MARCH 8 MARCH 14 dir.Clair Simon, Documentary, Not Rated, France, French w/ English subtitles, 2018, 121 min
THE COMPETITION MARCH 8 MARCH 14 dir.Clair Simon, Documentary, Not Rated, France, French w/ English subtitles, 2018, 121 min The Competition begins, significantly, with the image of a locked gatethat of La Fémis, one of the most prestigious film schools in the world, offering hands-on training from working professionals and accepting only forty students per year from hundreds of applicants. This Wiseman-esque documentary from Simon, one of Frances premiere nonfiction filmmakers, observes the process whereby those lucky forty are selecteda process which is revealed to be highly personal, idiosyncratic, and subject to the vagaries of taste and personal prejudice. Funny, penetrating, and surprisingly suspenseful, The Competition offers not only a unique opportunity to see the inner workings of an institution at the very heart of the French film industry, but an invitation to look at the assumptions and roadblocks that shape any national film industry, and higher education in general.
