The French New Wave [PDF ebook] 

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Film Science, grade: C+, Edinburgh Napier University, language: English, abstract: The French New Wave is arguably one of the most vital film movements throughout film history. During French New Wave formation, similar attempts in other countries such as Britain occurred to shape new experimental filmmaking styles, but the French Movement appeared to be the most influential all over the globe. It is possible to say that the New Wave was a personal cinema reflecting realities about human life and aiming to attract the educated young audience with its extreme separation from the traditional cinema.
