Celebrate the iconic female actors and filmmakers of the French New Wave with a compelling new examination of their role as a vital part of cinema history, as well as their influence on attitudes and style in society at large.Legends of style, mystique, and individuality, actresses such as Anna Karina, Jeanne Moreau, Jean Seberg, Brigitte Bardot, and filmmaker Agn�s Varda, stand out as emblems of the French New Wave who continue to fascinate audiences worldwide. Part of a larger group of "modern women" who revolutionized cinema, they broke out of the rigid representations that confined women to stereotypes and led the way toward more complex female roles. Their individual voices and undeniable presence brought authenticity to their characters that resonated both on screen and off. Nouvelles Femmes offers a fresh take on these compelling women, illuminated by quotes from the films, directors, and, most importantly, the women themselves. Film stills complementing the narrative showcase innovations in style and illustrate behind-the-scenes moments between actresses and directors. With accomplishments ranging from writing and directing to activism, women of the French New Wave paved the way for today's most modern women in film and in society. Admired by cinephiles all over the world, their legacy lives on as they continue to stand as icons of one of the most innovative times in cinema. This beautifully crafted film history book captures their powerful influence and makes an essential gift for movie lovers and devotees of French film history.
