- Synopsis:
Étienne Tinan (Andranic Manet), a young and serious cinephile, leaves behind Lyon and his girlfriend of six years to study at film school in Paris. There, he integrates into a bohemian student lifestyle. He is challenged and enthused by his new colleagues, Mathias (Corentin Fila) and Jean-Noël (Gonzague Van Bervesseles), with whom he shares artistic ideas and discusses the merits of Bach, Baudelaire and the Russian/Georgian film-maker Marlen Khutsiev (Christine Brücher). Cinematic references guide their conversations, and they are very aware that their tastes and approach to film-making dictate their status. However, it is against Mathias that Étienne compares himself the most, and their relationship becomes emotionally complicated when Annabelle (Sophie Verbeeck), a political activist, meets Ètienne. He must now find his own personality and discover if he in fact has any talent. - Actors:

Self-indulgent twaddle - A Paris Education review by Alphaville
Semi-autobiographical film abut students at a Paris film school. All the trappings of a Nouvelle Vague film but none of the joie de vivre and all filmed in dull natural light with a static camera. The students mooch around, smoking, drinking and talking nonsense, like moody teenagers who think they know everything. Unless you’re interested in discussions about the nature of film, it’s as boring as the characters. And if you are interested in the subject matter, it’s annoying as well as boring. All hit films are rip-offs made for money, says one of the director’s mouthpieces. Film should recreate real life, says another. No room here for the flights of imagination on which cinema can take us. This is director JP Civeyrac’s 12th film and the first to get a British distribution. It may well be his last.
