Class Enemy (2013) - 112 min

Country: Slovenia
Director: Rok Biček
Cast: Igor Samobor, Nataša Barbara Gračner, Tjaša Železnik & Maša Derganc.
Loosely based on actual events it tells the story of a strict professor, Robert Zupan who is put in charge of a senior class due to a teacher goes on maternity leave. The entire class decides to go hard on him when one of his student commits suicide.
As a director, Bicek manages to create a hateful gap between the students and the school administration. Choosing a side is difficult in the movie and Director actually drags you into a state of blame. Strong performances from the ensemble cast makes the movie a compelling one with a rebellious touch. This was the Slovenian entry for the Best foreign language film and step aside the Oscar thing, it is still worth a look at. Overall, Class Enemy lands safely with minor flaws that doesn't matter in the end.
Verdict: Good
