Paulina s'en va (Paulina s'en va) (1969)

André Téchiné made his debut as director with: Paulina s'en va (1969) in which the title character drifts aimlessly, struggling to find a way out of her disenchantment and find her calling in life. The film, shown at that year's Venice Film Festival, disconcerted audiences and was not actually released until 1975. In the meantime, Téchiné experimented with references to different genres and auteurs while providing screenplays for other directors as: Liliane Dekermadec's Aloise.
