French Film: The New Wave
|
||||
|
In the late 1950's the French public had grown tired of the glitzy,
superficial approach of the Cinèma de Papa films.
After years of over scripted, impersonal films the New Wave style was
accepted with open arms. It allowed the audience to connect with the
film rather than be spectators to the big productions
that were the Cinèma de Papa. The New Wave didn't simply tweak the
current, failing style of filming, it, instead, completely transformed
the face of film. Audiences were able to relate to the films
produced because of how sincere and real the cinematography was.
New Wave films featured real situations in natural settings with raw,
green actors. The only outcome could be raw and emotional and
sincere. These changes made it possible for the film industry to
revive itself and for audiences to relate to the films created.
