Nadja in Paris (1964)

Nadja, a visiting scholar residing at Cité Universitaire, ventures through the streets of Paris while working on a Proust-centered thesis at the esteemed Sorbonne. Her explorations take her far beyond the confines of academic Paris, delving into the rich tapestry of the city. She frequents Saint-Germain-des-Prés, yet finds solace among the bohemians, artists, and scribes that breathe life into Montparnasse. Occasionally, she yearns to escape the intellectual whirlwind, retreating to the tranquil ambiance of park Buttes Chaumont and the authentic charm of Belleville's working-class neighborhood. Amidst its simplicity, she uncovers a facet of France that is raw and emblematic, offering her a fresh perspective and a respite from her life's superficial aspects. Nadja discovers that Paris, in its vast and diverse grandeur, is more than a city – it is a mirror that reflects one's inner self, teaching you more about your essence than about the city itself.

Nadja in Paris is a drama movie featuring Nadja Tesich and directed by Éric Rohmer.
