In this episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, Simon Brew is joined by two guests to celebrate the cinema of the French New Wave, and in particular Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless.
Ginette Vincendeau, film critic and professor of Film Studios at King's College London, talks us through the background to the New Wave, what it is, and where Breathless fits in. Then Los Angeles-based critic Drew Gregory digs into the impact of Breathless, and tells us about a very unusual 13th birthday party!
That, and news of a host of STUDIOCANAL physical media releases too...
One further note: Ginette Vincendeau has co-edited a new book - The French New Wave, Critical Landmarks (3rd edition) - that's published by Bloomsbury.
