Abdel Kechiche’s “The Secret of the Grain” is a raw and unexaggerated snapshot of the tensions and experiences of a North African immigrant family living in the south of France.

Over meals in the historic and crowded Annenberg Hall, the brief snapshot of college life led both parents and students to reflect on the first eight weeks of the academic year. Siya Ngcobo ’12 said the weekend provided him with a “wake-up call for how fast everything is happening.” His father said...
