French Postcards

French Postcards is a 1979 coming-of-age romantic comedy-drama film directed by Willard Huyck, who co-wrote the screenplay with Gloria Katz.

It stars Miles Chapin, Blanche Baker, Mitch Hoefer David Marshall Grant, Valérie Quennessen, Debra Winger, Marie-France Pisier, and Jean Rochefort.

The film was shot on location in central Paris, and had a contemporary time setting, with American students being used as extras.

Student Laura spends much of her time alone, visiting museums and art galleries and regularly sending postcards to her boyfriend back home who declined the opportunity to join her.

Alex's interests are not so much in studying but more in love and life in Paris, and he becomes involved in a tryst with his teacher and the Institute's co-director Madame Tessier.
