French New Wave first became a popular film genre in the 1950s and 60s, where it made its debut. The style involved lots of improvisation, realism, and jump cuts. One main factor was making sure the camera work/the films themselves looked very "home-made".
Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut were 2 of the most iconic directors during this time period, and they became considered the fathers of French New Wave.
A few examples of French New Wave films:
- Vivre sa vie (1962)
- Breathless (1960)
- Less Bonnes Femmes (1960)
- Lola (1961)
