La nouvelle vague: portrait d'une jeunesse
Favs/dislikes: 22:0. These are the films listed in Antoine de Baecque's introduction to the French New Wave, [url=www.amazon.com/Nouvelle-Vague-Portrait-Jeunesse-French/dp/2081221632/]La nouvelle vague: portrait d'une jeunesse[/url]. The book contains a short selection of 20 films that defined the genre: "Here is, from 1958 to 1962, a selection of 20 films which have made the New Wave. This is the core of about 150 films, from young directors, during few years, most of which are forgotten today." These films are the first 20 films on the list, ranked chronologically. The book also mentions a lot of films that were made during 1958 to 1962, before, and after, which can be considered New Wave. These films make up the rest of the list, ranked chronologically as well. -
Essential Japanese New Wave Movies
Favs/dislikes: 5:0. Out of all the “new waves” that sprung up around the world in the wake of France’s revolutionary Nouvelle Vague in the 1960s, perhaps none was as explosive — politically, morally and aesthetically — and offered such a thorough repudiation of what had come before, as Japan’s Nuberu Bagu. While Nagisa Oshima and Shohei Imamura remain far and away the best-known directors associated with this movement, many other filmmakers have been unfairly lurking in their shadows for too long. I therefore limited myself to one title per director in this list of what I consider a dozen essential Japanese New Wave movies.
