Le Pont du Nord

French New Wave, 1981 – Adventure/Thriller/Comedy Note: for the desired effect, read this with this song on loop There is a definition I read some time back about the Nouvelle Vague, or the French New Wave of cinema, that I really liked: Truffaut, Godard, Resnais and friends decided at some point to create cheap, mould-breaking… Continue reading Le Pont du Nord
