RAYMOND CAUCHETIER'S NEW WAVE

Featuring arguably the greatest images of the French New Wave cinema; many images have never been seen before

First ever monograph in English devoted to the film photography of Raymond Cauchetier

Foreword by Philippe Garner; text by Raymond Cauchetier

In the late 1950s and early 1960s French New Wave cinema exploded onto international screens with films like Les quatre cents coups, A bout de souffle and Jules et Jim. They were radical, artistic, original and most importantly set up the director as a creative genius; at the forefront were Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. Today these films are credited with changing cinema forever. For many film goers they command strong and passionate respect and became the foundations on which a lifetime of cinema-going is built.
