French new wave cinema

The film pointe courte is interesting and is the start of french new wave cinema. of pointe courte and can almost feel how exciting it must have been to be there at the start of new wave french cinema. This also touches on the idea of high and low culture, Varda used real working class people from Sete where she spent her adolescence, along with hig brow famous actors from paris as the main two characters who are visiting to see if their marriage is worth saving, this is so interesting as it was such a low budget film that they did not even record sound with the film, it also had existential undertones, and a low key pace intermingling ponderous thoughts on relationships with tragic lives of poor fisher people in Sete, with lots of shots of day to day images of houses and boats and everyday life.This is so far removed from the hactic pace of many modern films and i would love to get a chance to try to re create a film like this b ut would this be possible in a modern setting, though life in the languedoc where this film is set is still fairly sleepy in many ways and it may be interesting to tyr and shoot some film in Sete again, my mum lives near there so maybe i could tie that in with a visit!
