“Other Mommy” and Deuteronomy
This film’s ambition is betrayed by its lack of substance.

1975. A group of young parents, dissatisfied with the traditional school system, establish a new school. The demand for a different type of education proves so great that they soon have to expand. They end up in an old farmhouse on the edge of a forest. There, for the first time in Flanders, they put Freinet pedagogy into practice. "Een Andere School" tells the story of this remarkable experiment by a group of idealists, but it is also a film about the life and work of the French educator Célestin Freinet.

As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.
