What am I actually supposed to write for something like this?? I can think of literally nothing to say about this question, or any examples of things that I did manage to say about it.
How are you actually supposed to analyse anything?? I just don't understand and this is probably the greatest reason why I chose not to do English Literature at A-Level!
ARLE is the compulsory film at my school, so I have no way out of this. Some help would be nice but judging from what already exists, not much will be available c:

This is what I've done but for the exposé instead - my class are studying a book called Thérèse Desqueyroux for the exposé and every Monday we analyse and talk about it for an hour. I personally hate it so I've decided to do mine, and have already, on La Haine as I can say a lot more about this and I love it. Granted, the FN4 essay requires much more effort but if you want you could change

Sorry I can't be of help en ce qui conerne Au Revoir Les Enfants, but just thought I'd point the above out to you !

Just saying, you can write about whichever specified film you want
Your school choose one and that's the only one you'll analyse in lesson, but if you personally don't like the film and would be willing to work on another one by yourself, you are entitled to do so

Ah! I didn't realise that at all! If that's the case, then I would probably consider changing films. I did ask my teacher today and she said I was doing fine so I was probably overreacting. Thank you so much though!

Par exemple, qu'est-ce que Jean répresente dans le film? C'était difficile en général pour moi de comprendre ces choses parce que je peux pas "analyser" les films.

I'd suggest writing a well written version in English first and translating the points made
other themes are humanity, conflict, struggle, childhood to adulthood

Its better to choose a theme than a character, I'm doing betrayal and showing that through Jean, Julien, Joseph, the nun etc.

I haven't personally watched Au revoir les enfants but I recommend just giving a re-watch and keeping a piece of paper and a pen handy, so you can jot down anything particular that Jean does which in any way influence the plot, the other characters or even the audience.
You may not be on the same exam board as me, I'm with WJEC, but questions on Les Choristes are often in the form of "Analysez le rôle et l'influence de (insert character) [45 marks]), and I like to start with the rôle, including personality, qualities etc. then I go on to analyse the influence they have on the other characters, on the plot (i.e. do they bring about any changes and how?) and on the viewers, if that seems relevant for a particular character.
Maybe you could try looking for information like such and go from there?
