School Days with a Pig / ブタがいた教室 Buta ga ita kyôshitsu (2008)

Rating:★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Foreign
Interesting story, of how a rookie teacher uses raising a pig to teach his 6th graders class a precious lesson in life. The film starts without preamble straight into the tension of a class in dilemma, then uses flashback to the past to play out the story. Good insight into the everyday life of children growing up in Japan. Might be a tad slow for those who are expecting a comedy.
