Movie Reviews of Class Trip
Movie Review: Weird!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
La Classe de Neige is supposed to be a Picture This production, however, Warner Bros. comes out in the credits in the beginning of the movie. This is one very strange movie reminding me of something out the French Impressionism period.
I don't even know where to begin to describe this plot as reality and fantasy becomes one, making everything surreal and difficult to understand. I am not even sure what the story is about but it surrounds one boy, Nicolas, who is brought by his father to a kid's winter camp. Nicolas suffers from delusional, detached psychological disorder, always dreaming these surreal, altered states in which he is in danger. There seems to be hints of him being sexually abused by his father who is also mentally unstable. He wets the bed due to these nightmares.
Because it isn't to clear to me, we can assumed that Nicolas has been seriously traumatized in life. He thinks that there is a conspiracy by a group of people who go around sequestering young boys for body parts. He thinks that his father is working undercover to exposed these people. He makes friends with another boy at the camp, Hodkann. They develop a strong friendship and Nicolas tell him about this weird conspiracy. There is one episode in which one of this triggered nightmares causes Nicolas to wondered outside in the cold and the snow, he almost freezes to death. He becomes very sick. At the same time, a boy disappears in the general area, the police is searching everywhere. Ski trips are disrupted from the camp, staff becomes upset. There is a description of a vehicle near where the boy disappears, and fits Nicolas's father. The father gets caught by the police on a tip by Hodkann. At the end Nicolas leaves the camp and goes home while watching on a newsreel in the TV about his father being apprehended by the law.
This is a very strange movie. There is bizarre, and then there is this movie. Unless you are to prepare to witness something totally different and hard to understand, don't bother, because you will not like it.
Summary of Class Trip
In Class Trip (La Classe De Neige), Nicolas is an insecure child plagued by visions of disaster. His peers tease him, or ignore him, while his teachers are frustrated by his lack of social skills. Nicolas leads a lonely life until a class trip to the ski country, where Hadkann, the class bully, befriends him and becomes intrigued by his dreams. When one of Nicolas's visions mirrors a true-life murder, he and Hadkann set out to solve the crime. Claude Miller directs Class Trip with a deft and subtle hand. Adapted from Emmanuel Carrere's acclaimed novel of the same name, Miller takes his audience inside the mind of an emotionally damaged child. He recalls the intense social hierarchy of childhood, combining it with the psychological suspense of an unseen killer, and the haunting beauty of the French countryside. His previous works include Alias Betty and La Petite Lili.Art House & International DVD Video
