'Michel Marie, legendary cinephile and scholar of French cinema,
has fashioned a three-dimensional map of the New Wave
'School', providing its genesis and morphology as
well. The table of contents alone is full of important ideas and
promising directions. Yet within this brilliant organization
operates the eye and the sensibility of someone who is intimate
with these intimate films. What a vast film-culture subtends this
tidy study.' Dudley Andrew, Yale University
'In Richard Neupert's extremely readable translation, Michel
Marie's French New Wave is just what the directors ordered
- a rat-a-tat-tat new look at the Nouvelle Vague that is
fresh and irreverent. Michel Poiccard/Jean-Paul Belmondo would have
loved it.' Rick Altman, University of Iowa
