New WaveFrench nouvelle vagueGroup of individualistic French film directors of the late 1950s, including Claude Chabrol, Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, Eric Rohmer, Alain Resnais, and others. Most of the New Wave directors were associated with the important film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma, in which they developed the highly influential auteur theory, calling for films to express the director's personal vision. Their films were characterized by a brilliance of technique that sometimes overshadowed the subject matter. Among the most important New Wave films were Godard's Breathless (1959), Truffaut's The 400 Blows (1959), and Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour (1959). How to thank TFD for its existence?

| ``Bande a Part,'' Nouvelle Vague (Justin Time; $13. As Toubiana puts it, "The cinematheque is a historical landmark, the place where film history was written, the breeding ground where generations of cinephiles--the Nouvelle Vague among others--received their education, where a certain French taste was shaped and transmitted, along with a completely universal relationship to the world: You saw films from every country; you accepted all languages, all styles, wherever they came from. Former enfant terrible of France's nouvelle vague gets his own grown-up show, tracing a trajectory from early projects such as Nemausus experimental housing in Nimes to a new national museum of anthropology in Paris. |
