It All Starts Today (1999) Rating: Starring: Nadia Kaci, Maria Pitarresi, Philippe Torreton Director: Bertrand Tavernier Category: Drama, Foreign Studio: Facets Video Subtitles: English Length: 117 mins     "Tender and Passionate!" - Roger Ebert This deeply personal film from acclaimed filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier is about heroes we don't often encounter in film: the every day hero who fights the good fight just because it is the right thing to do. Daniel, the teacher at the center of It All Starts Today is such an individual. Tavernier brings us up-close to Daniel's struggle to make a difference in the lives of his students. It All Starts Today is a film which gets under your skin. Philippe Torreton's performance, which has been called "marvelous" by the New York Times, is nothing short of unforgettable. "This is a film about small victories, huge defeats and finding the will to keep fighting," says San Francisco Chronicle. It is a powerful film about real life, about the meaning of passion and commitment, about triumph and defeat, about the resilience of the human spirit - about what it takes for one individual to change other lives and to make a difference.
