Nadia

1963 • Directed by

Jean-Michel Barjol

Drama

Jean-Michel Barjol, a friend of Jean Eustache, was a young rebel who threw himself into cinema with reckless abandon. In this short film about a 16-year-old runaway, with whom the filmmaker clearly and empathically identified, Bariol inventively uses voiceover narration, documentary images, and jazz to create a sense of tumultuous yearning.
