interesting

Nadja is a student at Cité Universitaire in Paris. She talks about her life and interacts with a few people. She walks through the city. French new wave director Éric Rohmer does a short. It has no plot to speak of. It is a piece of pontification of being and a slice of Paris life during this time.Nadja Tesich seems to be an amateur. I wish that I am more skilled in French. I can't tell if she's doing well in her speaking voice. She seems to be deliberate in her speech and maybe that's deliberate. She is supposed to be a foreigner. I don't even know if this is real or fictional. That is probably part of the point.

Early sixties Paris café life

Those who are looking for a "film" at all here are mistaken. Those who find little of interest may not know what to look for. This is an autobiographical sketch of a foreign student in Paris resident in the cité universitaire with pretty good French who's a flaneur, a wanderer, a people-watcher - the best thing to be in this cirty - a hanger-out in Saint Germain and Montparnasse cafés who's blended in, at least enough so she gets invited to hang out at tables and chat. . On top of that she's doing a thesis on Proust. It's almost as classic as sitting in the shadow of Notre Dame reading Madame Bovary while eating a croissant. The narration flows beautifully, conveys the sense of just being, hanging out, in a city that's supremely well-tuned to just such a lifestyle. . It's like an advertisement fore French culture. It would be nice to know more about the making-of than simply who wrote,, shot, and directed but also what discussion went into it.
