The French 'New Wave' was perhaps the biggest - and briefest - explosion in the history of world cinema, with over 100 French directors shooting debut features between 1958 and 1964. This book explores the social and cultural backdrop which influenced the likes of Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut.
