"The directors of the French New Wave were the original film geeks - a collection of celluloid-crazed cinephiles with a background in film criticism and a love for American auteurs." "In this guide the author analyses all of the major films in the movement. There is also an introductory essay, Making Waves, that examines the social context of the movement in France as well as the directors' considerable influence on later generations of film-makers across the globe."--BOOK JACKET.
