A young woman is assigned to teach school in a secluded valley whose inhabitants appear stern, secretive and anti-pleasure.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The People has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.6/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1972. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
