synopsis
Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate, is unsure what to do with his future when he meets Mrs. Robinson, his father’s boss’s wife. The older woman sets out to seduce him and succeeds quickly. But things get complicated when Mr. Robinson asks Benjamin to date Elaine, his daughter…
Les adultes cherchent soit à imposer leur propre schéma, soit à profiter de leur désarroi comme le fait Mrs Robinson ; ils n’apportent pas de réponses. Le lauréat démystifie le modèle de réussite sociale de la classe moyenne américaine et, quand on gratte, l’envers du décor n’est pas reluisant.

The year 1967 was significant in cinema history, and if you’re trying to make sense of why, you don’t have to look much further than Mike Nichols’ "The Graduate". It is a film which appears at a great turning point in Hollywood film history, at the moments of transition between one era tied to the strictures of classical storytelling and codes self-imposed censorship, and the beginning of a new American perspective on film influenced by artistic innovations from the cinema of Europe.
