Among his misadventures, he described racing through the streets on a motorcycle, hanging out with friends by a chip stand and playing the card game Doppelkopf in the back of the class.

The sequences, staged for the most part at Bry-sur-Marne Studios near Paris, required close collaboration between Guilhaume and Audiard, who had previously worked together on the much simpler, black-and-white romantic misadventure “Paris, 13th District.”

There’s a recognizable quality to Bridget’s misadventures that makes these movies subtly splendid, and it’s a nice break from the action-packed franchise fare later in the year.
