(Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)The previously provided skeletal outline, and the following page may help you take notes. Feel free to download it and either use it as a reference, or as a page in your film notebook.
As tiny bit of background Agnes Varda attributed with making the 1st French New Wave film La Pointe-Courte (1954) based on a book by William Faulkner The Wild Palms. She is often referred to the mother, or grandmother of New Wave. Others consider La Pointe-Courte a progenitor of New Wave. An interesting available through Criterion, entitled La Pointe Courte: How Agnès Varda “Invented” the New Wave (Links to an external site.) by Ginette Vincendeau discusses La Pointe-Courte, and Varda's later work.
It took her seven years to gain financing for her second feature Cléo from 5 to 7, during that time she made documentaries and shorts. It was released shortly after the combination of The 400 Blows (François Truffaut 1959), Hiroshima Mon Amour (Alain Resnais, 1959), and Breathless (Jean-Luc Godard, 1960) ushered in the New Wave in full force.
