A Paris Education
Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2018
March 8 - 18, 2018
A movie-mad jeune homme discovers the pleasures and perils of the bohemian life when he moves to Paris in this bittersweet ode to cinema and the heady days of youth.
Must end September 27!
A serious and impressionable shaggy-haired young cinephile named Etienne (Andranic Manet) leaves behind his steady girlfriend (Diane Rouxel) in Lyon to study film in Paris. Settling into a dingy flat with a rotating cast of roommates, he immerses himself in a bohemian world of artists, intellectuals, and fellow film geeks who excitedly share their passion for Bresson, Ford, and obscure Russian directors. It’s a seemingly idyllic life of the mind—until more complicated matters of the flesh, as well as jealous creativity, intrude. Shooting in timeless black and white and interweaving references to philosophy, music, and cinema—from Pascal to Mahler to Parajanov—unsung auteur Jean-Paul Civeyrac conjures a bittersweet ode to the heady days of student life. A 2018 Rendez-Vous with French Cinema selection. A Kino Lorber release.
Marked by both an intense love of film and the fiery passions of youth.
