In this course we will study the history and aesthetics of the Nouvelle Vague, a movement started by a group of young French film directors who, in the late 1950s, in an attempt to revolutionize French cinema, proposed a new model of filmmaking. While focusing on the most productive decade in the history of this movement (from the late 1950s through mid-60s), we will also look at the post-Nouvelle-Vague uvres of some of these film makers and explore their influence on the French cinema of the last quarter of the 20th century.The works of the following filmmakers will be discussed: Godard, Truffaut, Rohmer, Chabrol, Marker, Resnais, Varda, Franju, Demy, among others.
