Using images from a film is a fairly old concept in poster design and this one certainly doesn't do anything new with it.
The film has earned amazing accolades, but the trailer makes the film seem like some traditional Stand and Deliver-kind of movie, which might pull some audiences, but the foreign lingo and subtitles won't.
It could be France's best shot at its first Foreign Language Film Oscar in 16 years.
I have not seen this film.
