La Nausée Playlist
This playlist follows Roquentin from the damp, ordinary rhythms of Bouville into the unsettling realization that existence has no reassuring shape or purpose. French modernist and chanson selections evoke his café-bound days, the port town, Anny’s elusive return, and the self-conscious hope he finds in art; the instrumental half moves between intimate observation and sensory disquiet.
