The 1960 film Zazie in the Metro, directed by Louis Malle, follows brash country girl Zazie (Catherine Demongeot), who comes to Paris and dreams of riding the subway, but it is on strike. A colorful walk through Paris with Zazie under her uncle's not-so-watchful eye may seem completely nutty – but certainly worth a look. Louis Malle played with edi...
La Jetee is an iconic 1962 short film by Chris Marker, one of the most beautiful experimental films ever made. Mixing black-and-white still photos and narration, it tells the story of time travel in a post-apocalyptic future. In the aftermath of World War III, a prisoner goes back to the moment of his childhood, when he saw a woman at the airport j...
The 1964 Cannes Film Festival-winning musical drama The Umbrellas of Cherbourg stars the great Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo as lovers, separated by circumstances and war. Young Genevieve wants to wait for Guy, but her mother insists on her marriage to a wealthy jeweler. Jacques Demy made a deceptively simple love story in which all the wo...
Shoot the Piano Player is utterly playful, Francois Truffaut’s homage to classic American gangster films. Based on the novel Down There by David Goodis, it tells the story of a pianist who was involved in a gangland feud. The crime story becomes a backdrop to a tale of tragic love, glory, and downfall. Empire described Shoot the Piano Playeras "a s...
For Agnes Varda’s 1962 drama Cleo from 5 to 7, Corinne Marchand appears as a singer, who is counting out the minutes until 6:30 p.m. to hear her cancer test result. The fear that death is near makes Cleo take on new perspectives in her life. Before her filmmaking career, Varda had been a serious photographer, so each Cleo from 5 to 7 scene has a pe...
Along with The 400 Blows and Breathless, Hiroshima, My Love (or Hiroshima Mon Amour) can be called one of the main films of the French New Wave. This Alain Resnais romantic drama tells the poetic story about unrequited love that was found for an ephemeral moment. Hiroshima, My Love follows a French actress (played by Emmanuelle Riva) who came to Hi...
Jean-Luc Godard described his film Band of Outsiders as "Alice in Wonderland meets Franz Kafka." The film follows a girl named Odile (played by Godard’s muse Anna Karina) who teams up with two crooks (played by Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur) to commit a robbery. Band of Outsiders is a perfect re-imagining and deconstruction of gangster films with e...
The most personal Francois Truffaut film, The 400 Blows is a story of youthful (and cinematic) rebellion. The film centers on a boy named Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Leaud); adults see him as a troublemaker, but Antoine wants only one thing: understanding. Parasite director Bong Joon-ho described The 400 Blowsas "the most beautiful feature film deb...
The plot of the 1960 drama Breathless is almost the same as a typical crime film, showing a criminal (played by Jean-Paul Belmondo), who is hiding in the apartment of a beautiful woman (Jean Seberg) – but Jean-Luc Godard had turned the classic genre on its head and created one of the most influential movies of the modern era, one which marked the t...
