The Class (2007)
6/10
Estonia's White Elephant is in the Room
12 February 2009
"Klass" is the latest movie to arrive with the marketing personnel working overtime to illuminate audiences with the direction of the story, and in this particular case the knowledge is radiated in a tangible manner just from looking at the publicity work. Do I begin this review by giving away what happens just as every other writer who has seen "Klass" is doing? I would rather not spoil the fun. However, this production is marketed as the Estonian take on the Columbine High School incident so take from that what you will. I knew nothing about the parallel connection before my screening, but even if I had it wouldn't have been detrimental to the success of my viewing experience. There is much more going on here than simply a reaction to an event that took place the best part of a decade ago, and with the Virginia Tech Massacre still fresh in our mind, perhaps it is a reminder that bad things can happen outside of the United States of America now and again even if they are not classed as news-worthy.
