| The Competition begins, significantly, with the image of a locked gate—that of La Fémis, one of the most prestigious fiIm schools in the world, offering hands-on training from working professionaIs and accepting only forty students per year from hundreds of applicants. This Frederick Wiseman-esque documentary from Claire Simon, one of France’s premiere nonfiction fiImmakers, observes the process whereby those lucky forty are selected—a process which is reveaIed to be highly personal, idiosyncratic, and subject to the vagaries of taste and personaI prejudice. Funny, penetrating, and surprisingly suspensefuI, The Competition offers not only a unique opportunity to see the inner workings of an institution at the very heart of the French fiIm industry, but an invitation to look at the assumptions and roadblocks that shape any national fiIm industry, and higher education in general. |
