New Hollywood didn’t just come out of nowhere, ya know! European and Asian art movements from the 50s and 60s had a profound impact on American filmmakers and inspired many of the revolutionary impulses they brought to mainstream USA. The next few episodes of the pod focus on a couple different groups of these foreign precursors. This episode the show is zeroing in on the French New Wave filmmakers most associated with the film journal Cahiers du Cinéma. Alana and Sam discuss Jean-Luc Godard’s highly experimental masterpiece Pierrot le Fou. Topics include: the sexiness(?) of Jean-Paul Belmondo, the film’s commentaries on consumerism, and the place for avant garde in the streaming era.
