Watching In the House is like reading an addictive book, where the chapters are interrupted by fascinating characters in another story, discussing the chapter before it.
As the film progresses, we're drawn into the student's story as much as the French teacher, played wonderfully by Fabrice Lachini. We're also inclined to see the story go on, destructive as it is. Ernst Umhauer does a great job as the student.
The film works because of the relationship between the teacher and the student, to the credit of the two main performances. Somehow they make talk of study sessions seem like the most exciting thing in the world.
