Casting fresh light on one of the most important movements in film
history, Intermedial Dialogues: The French New Wave and the Other
Arts is the first comprehensive study of the New Wave's
relationship with the older arts. Traversing the fields of
literature, theatre, painting, architecture and photography, and
drawing on Andre Bazin alongside recent theories of intermediality,
it investigates the 'impure', intermedial aesthetics of New Wave
cinema. Filmmakers under discussion include
critics-turned-directors Francois Truffaut, Eric Rohmer, Jean-Luc
Godard, Jacques Rivette and Claude Chabrol, members of the Left
Bank Group Alain Resnais, Agnes Varda and Chris Marker, but also
lesser-known directors, notably the 'secret child of the New Wave',
Guy Gilles. This wide-ranging book offers an original reading of
the complex, often ambivalent ways in which the New Wave engages
the other arts in both its discursive construction and filmic
practice. Key Features: A wide-ranging study which explores the
complex, often ambiguous ways in which the New Wave engages with
the other arts in both its discursive construction and cinematic
practice Affords a new prism for understanding New Wave filmmaking
and its legacy through comprehensive analysis of the ways in which
the New Wave aesthetic was shaped through intermedial dialogue and
medium rivalry Reassesses one of the most acclaimed movements in
film history drawing on cutting-edge theory in the prominent field
of intermediality studies Offers an inclusive, heterogeneous view
of the New Wave through inclusion of lesser-known directors such as
Guy Gilles, Jean-Daniel Pollet and Jacques Demy alongside renowned
Nouvelle Vague filmmakers
