Film Description

This unsparing portrait of teenage life in the French suburbs sees a group of young actors make up the cluster of friends adrift beneath the twilight of their school years. There's drama, violence, and pot-induced laughs, group holidays, indiscriminate sex, advances from teachers twenty-five years their seniors, attempted moves to Paris, and few prospects of passing the bac, the final set of exams French students take before embarking into the world to... do what?

Marking the last work of Pialat's turbulent cycle of films made in the 1970s, Passe ton bac d'abord... is the brilliant spiritual sequel to the great filmmaker's feature-debut L'Enfance-nue -- picked up again from a vantage ten years on from the lives of the earlier film's protagonists.
