Synopsis:
Graduate First is a day-in-the-life film about a group of friends from a working-class community in the suburbs of France. After finishing their formal educations, they roam around their town plagued by apathy.

Special Features:

Après le bac [After the Bac] -- a 26-minute, 2003 documentary featurette by Serge Toubiana and Sonia Buchman that catches up with the cast and setting of the film in the present era.

Original trailer for the film, and trailers for the six other Maurice Pialat features available from The Masters of Cinema Series.

A lengthy booklet with a new essay by filmmaker and educator Jean-Pierre Gorin, and newly translated interviews with Maurice Pialat.
