Paulina Is Leaving

Paulina is Leaving (French: Paulina s'en va) is a 1969 French drama film written and directed by André Téchiné, starring Bulle Ogier and Marie-France Pisier. It marked Téchiné's debut as a director. It remains Téchiné's less known film, since it was only very briefly release to theaters in 1975, six years after its premiered at the Venice Film Festival. It has neither rereleased nor ever transferred to video.

The title refers to Paulina leaving both the household she shared with her brothers and the world of sanity. The film was partially inspired by Jean Pierre Melville’s 1950 adaptation of Jean Cocteau’s Les Enfants Terribles.[2]
