Première année

Two young students accidentally become friends at the start of medical school. They study together, have ups and downs, and we get a look at the severe trial of a medical education in France. Unlike a typical Hollywood film on this subject, there is no time wasted on romance-- or anything else outside the guys' attempt to pass their rigorous exams. But it's never dry or dull---there's humor and pathos, all excellently acted and directed.

I don't know why but this movie rubbed me the wrong way. It's a pretty well made, very well acted and very realistic journey into the first year of med school in Paris, which I find as interesting and entertaining as watching paint dry.

It is a film remarkable for its...generosity.

Friendship, the rigurous system of trial for medical studies in france, the learnig as intense, asidous, tenacious , calculated minute by minute effort, in same measure against yourself, the prepaires for exam and the fatigue and its terrible consequences - near the envy as punch against friendship -, new beginning and the succes.

The story is admirable crafted.

Second precious virtue - the actors in the main roles and their just great job.

A film reminding the work as student or master or Phd .Precise, careful made and intense like touching.

In short, generous .

This movie depicts really well the first year's medical school in Paris through the friendship of two young students. They have their little stories, their ups & downs and appear totally focused on their final exams. Unlike most films, there is no unrealistic drama, romance or events and we can literally dive into a very competitive environment from the beginning to the end of the first year. Moreover, it is well directed by a real doctor and very nicely played by young actors

That's a purely medical student study movie, made by a former doctor, who lnows what he's talking about. the tale of a friendship between two students with its ups and downs. A very good character study, which also shows what medical students life is actually is. Also a beautiful friendship story pulled by a solid ending. An ending about sacrifice.
