manaro @ the cinema

The french new wave, inspired by American an cinema appeared in the 50's. It was considered as a revolution thanks to its new material and technology that permitted a new way of filming. But it's not only about the way of filming but the way the screenplay was written too. Indeed, if the New Wave's movies seemed to be free about the screenplay, the classic french cinema was judged too politically correct and limited about the stories. That's why the american wave seduced the french public and then created the French New Wave. 

The french classic cinema was blamed as "well-made", but impersonal (like Claude Autan Lara with Le Diable a
Au Corps), and was oftenly adaptations from novels and was more like literary adaptations projects then originals movies based on a modern story. French cinema appears to the people as a too closed system. It favours the American wave to influence the French cinema.
