La Journée de la jupe

Skirt Day

(France/Belgium/Switzerland, 2008, 88 minutes)

A harried teacher in a troublesome inner city high school finds her main problem student has brought a gun into class and the confrontation escalates into a hostage situation. Brisk combination of taut drama and social satire carried by a star performance from an unrecognizable star that isn't afraid to look her age; originally made for television.
