French New Wave by Chris Wiegand

By the mid-1960s, the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut and Claude Chabrol had changed the rules of film-making forever, but the French New Wave as such was over. This guide reviews and analyses all of the major films in the movement and offers profiles of its principal stars, such as Jean-Paul Belmondo, Anna Karina and Brigitte Bardot. There is also an introductory essay which examines the social context of the movement in France as well as the directors' considerable influence on later-generations of film-makers across the globe.
