   How did Cantet make a movie based on a true story?

   • Cantet worked with co-screenwriter Robin Campillo and teacher Francois Begaudeau, who plays the teacher himself and whose book inspired the film, to come up with a backbone for the situations in the film, then used real 14 and 15 year-old students to create characters before improvising the classroom scenes.
