A History of the French New Wave Cinema offers a fresh take a look at the social, economic, and aesthetic mechanisms that shaped French film in the 1950s, in addition to detailed studies of a very powerful New Wave movies of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Richard Neupert first tracks the precursors to New Wave cinema, showing how they provided blueprints for individuals who would follow. He then demonstrates that it used to be a core group of critics-turned-directors from the magazine Cahiers du Cinéma—especially François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, and Jean-Luc Godard—who in point of fact revealed that filmmaking used to be changing perpetually. Later, their cohorts Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, and Pierre Kast continued in their own unique how you can expand the range and depth of the New Wave. 

In an exciting new chapter, Neupert explores the subgroup of French film practice referred to as the Left Bank Group, which included directors such as Alain Resnais and Agnès Varda. With the addition of this new material and an up to date conclusion, Neupert presents a comprehensive review of the stunning variety of movies to come out of this important era in filmmaking.
