The Freshmen
Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2019
February 28 - March 10, 2019
Hippocrates director Thomas Lilti again draws upon his experience as a doctor for this affectionate tale of two medical-school freshmen (Vincent Lacoste and William Lebghil) who become fast friends and study partners.
Thomas Lilti, whose hospital drama Hippocrates played Rendez-Vous in 2015, draws upon his experience as a doctor once again for this affectionate tale of two medical-school freshmen. Antoine (Vincent Lacoste) is beginning his third attempt at the first year, which culminates in a cutthroat entrance exam before one can even opt into the medical concentration. When classes commence, he meets Benjamin (William Lebghil), an endearingly aloof new student whose upbringing in a medical family helps him intuitively grasp course concepts. As the two become fast friends and study partners, they embark on a year that pits academic automatism against the emotional highs and lows of discovering one’s calling in life. Nominated for a Best New Actor César Award. New York Premiere
