MES PROVINCIALES (A PARIS EDUCATION)

Watchable. Lengthy but engaging. Black and white so Paris as such is practically missing. The focus is on dialogues and acting. Both are filled with philosophy but the storyline's clear: he comes to Paris leaving everything and everyone behind, gradually his newlife destroys the remnants of the old one, but he's got no vision of his future and scrambles aimlessly. He doesn't make it in life. He's hanging on the hinges of his dreams. Plenty of smoking additionally reminds you it's French, even if it weren't for all the philosophy.
