FILM Thursday 10/28 RUINOUS MISTAKESonia Bergerac's life is falling apart. The instructor at a school for troubled children's husband has left her without explanation, there's tension at work — particularly over the school's no-skirt policy — and she's careening toward breakdown. Her troubles come to a head when she finds a gun in one of her pupil's bags and seizes it, accidentally firing a shot into a student's leg. Her mistake balloons into a full-blown hostage crisis in "La Journée de la Jupe" ("Skirt Day,") for which actress Isabelle Adjani was nominated for "Best Actress" in the 2010 César Awards.
