I'm not sure whether or not the French have a reputation for making extremely realistic movies, but I think the 3 most realistic movies I have seen in the past couple of years have all been French. They are all good movies and the realism will astound you.
La Haine (The Hate) 1995
Entre les murs (The Class) 2008/2009
Le Trou (The Hole) 1960

I've heard a lot about The Class. In a field full of big names -- Clint Eastwood, Steven Soderbergh, Charlie Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich") -- Cannes gave its big prize, the Palme d'Or, to The Class.
But I haven't seen it yet.
