The French New Wave is an essential anthology of writings by and
about the critics and filmmakers of this revolutionary cinematic
movement, which has had a radical impact on film practice and the
way we think and write about film. The volume includes foundational
writings such as Francois Truffaut's A Certain Tendency in French
Cinema and Andre Bazin's La Politique des auteurs, as well writings
by Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol and Alexandre Astruc. This new
edition now represents writings by and about women critics and
film-makers, including important articles by the critics Evelyne
Sullerot, Michele Firk and Francoise Aude, addressing issues of
gender and representation, as well as considering New Wave films in
the context of contemporary political events, notably France's
colonialist war on the Algerian independence movement. To accompany
the case study of Godard's A bout de souffle, the new edition
includes a case study of the critical reception of two films by
Agnes Varda: La Pointe Courte and Cleo de 5 a 7 . The articles have
been specially translated for the volume by Peter Graham, and some
are published for the first time in English. These classic writings
are accompanied by contextualising introductions by Ginette
Vincendeau, updated for this new edition, to form a unique resource
on this key cinematic movement and its practitioners.
