In the process of hermeneutical analysis of the film “Monsieur Lazar”, the author comes to the conclusion that the story content is not directly related to the key events taking place in the international political life of Canada, however, the socio-cultural, economic, educational tasks are to some extent reflected in the story line of the media text.

Key words: hermeneutic analysis, cinematography, film, film production, media text, teacher, students, Canada.
