France's Valerie Kaprisky plays the uprooted thrill seeker with the same air of being stunned by the outrageous message her nerve ends are sending to her brain.

Only some 400 students a year are accepted. Among its graduates: Louis Pasteur, Jean-Paul Sartre, Georges Pompidou. Prior to World War II the school also produced such socialist luminaries as Jean Jaures and Léon Blum...
