Sophie Grassin, « Laurent Cantet: luttes dans la classe», Le Monde.fr,‎ 12 mai 2008 ( ISSN 1950-6244, lire en ligne, consulté le 15 février 2017) Set entirely in a secondary school in a working-class district of Paris, where most residents are first-generation immigrants to France born overseas, the film follows the year of a young teacher, François Marin, and the 25 pupils aged 14-15 years who he takes for an hour each day for French lessons. A loner, he walks the narrow line between maintaining discipline and gaining co-operation. Shot in what lazy critics have termed a “documentary style” (but with a glossy, widescreen aesthetic that corresponds to precious few documentaries), Cantet’s film certainly makes efforts to maintain an ironic distance from both lived experience and its source material. Perhaps consciously avoiding the embarrassing disparity between documentary idealism and old-fashioned greed which resulted in the gentle rural schoolmaster of Nicolas Philibert’s Etre et avoir (2002) suing for a cut of the film’s profits, Cantet’s film is securely anchored in the fictional realm. Skillfully dodging James Frey-style fabrications, former junior high-school teacher (and Cahiers du Cinéma contributor) François Bégaudeau plays a fictional version of himself based on his autobiographical novel . Self-effacing (in a suspiciously arrogant fashion), Bégaudeau insists in interviews that he is “not a star,” merely the “main character” in a supremely democratic film. And in a loose narrative directed by a non-doctrinaire leftist, the emphasis is primarily on the interchanges between the intrepid, but conspicuously flawed instructor, and the students, played by appealing non-professionals, in his always lively, multicultural class. The superficial spontaneity of the classroom scenes was the result of meticulous preparation. The cast participated in extended workshops in which—prompted by Bégaudeau’s suggestions—extended improvisations formed the basis of the final script. Elsa Keslassy (27 February 2009).

Il s'agit d'une adaptation du roman homonyme de François Bégaudeau, lequel a joué le rôle principal du film et cosigné l'adaptation cinématographique avec Laurent Cantet et Robin Campillo. L'histoire s'inspire du vécu de l'auteur lorsqu'il enseignait au collège Mozart, un établissement parisien situé en ZEP (zone d'éducation prioritaire).In crafting the script, it was always Cantet’s intention to make Souleymane a focal point of the story. “I wrote first script before reading the book by Francois. Souleymane was the main character from the old film. I wanted his story to become the plot line of the film. What Francois’ book gave to me, to the film, was all what was around the story and what makes it look real.” Brigitte Tijou, « Sur «Les Marches de Belleville», dix ans après une Palme d’or | Documentaires», sur Mediapart (consulté le 3 janvier 2021)
