The French New Wave Reviews

'This is an indispensable point of reference for anyone interested in the movement.' - Sight& Sound 'The book's resurrection in this slightly expanded new version is very welcome, and it remains faithful to one of the series' hallmarks: the imaginative arrangement of the many carefully selected stills.' - Sight& Sound '...the re-printed essays in The French New Wave: Critical Landmarks encapsulate an exciting time of cultural change with their fierce opinions and alternative approach towards reading film.' - Scope
