In the late 1950s and early 1960s French New Wave cinema exploded
onto international screens with films like Les quatre cents coups,
A bout de souffle and Jules et Jim. They were radical, artistic,
original and most importantly set up the director as a creative
genius; at the forefront were Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc
Godard. Today these films are credited with changing cinema
forever. For many film goers they command strong and passionate
respect and became the foundations on which a lifetime of
cinema-going is built. In the photographs of Raymond Cauchetier we
bear witness to the great artistic genius that was central to the
process of making these films. Cauchetier's photographs are a
culturally important documentary of the director at work, his
methods and processes. His photographs capture some of the most
memorable moments in film; Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg on
the Champs Elysees in A bout de souffle, Jeanne Moreau in the race
scene of Jules et Jim, Anna Karina in a Parisian Cafe in Une femme
est une femme. But Cauchetier's genius lies also in the fact that
his photographs are far above just a visual record of these films.
They clearly show the same spirit, the same freedom and the same
originality that made The New Wave so important. Cauchetier's
photographs are as much a part of The New Wave as the films
themselves. In the words of Richard Brody: In these images, Raymond
Cauchetier, a witness to art, made art by bearing true witness.
This is the first book published in English featuring the New Wave
film photographs of Raymond Cauchetier.
