Le Lauréat (The Graduate)

After returning home from his stellar studies, Benjamin Braddock struggles to envision the career path his parents have planned for him. During a reception held in his honor, he falls under the spell of Mrs. Robinson, an older woman. The Graduate, alongside Bonnie and Clyde, is one of the heralds of New Hollywood. Aesthetically akin to the French New Wave, it symbolizes a break from classic Hollywood cinema.
