Watch these two short pieces on Godard and Trufaut, centerpiece figures of the French New Wave.
The New Wave (in French, La Nouvelle Vague) is a film movement that rose to popularity in the late 1950s in Paris, France. The movement aimed to give directors full creative control over their work, allowing them to eschew overwrought narrative in favor of improvisational, existential storytelling. French New Wave filmmakers changed both French cinema and the film industry at large, paving the way for modern independent auteur filmmaking.
What films have you seen do you think they've influenced in style or technique? Other thoughts on the French New Wave?
