French New WaveA comprehensive hardcover study of the French New Wave, written by critic and historian Jean Douchet. Drawing from his close involvement with the movement and his work at Cahiers du Cinma, Douchet offers an insiders perspective on the filmmakers who reshaped cinema in the late 1950s and 1960s, including Godard and Truffaut. Both analytical and deeply informed, this volume remains a key text on the aesthetic and cultural impact of the Nouvelle Vague.
