Best French movies of all time
The French New Wave movement emerged in the late 1950s. The movement was characterized by its rejection of traditional filmmaking conventions in favor of experimentation and a spirit of iconoclasm.
New Wave filmmakers explored new approaches to editing, visual style, and narrative, as well as engagement with the social and political upheavals of the era. The New Wave is often considered one of the most influential movements in the history of cinema.
