Documentary Two in the Wave gives you a peek into the fabled relationship of film geniuses Godard and Truffaut


Intrested in New Wave Cinema? Pick up a DVD of Emmanuel Laurent's documentary Two in the Waveu00a0 that attempts to examine the love-hate relationship between filmmakers Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, pioneers of the French Nouvelle Vague movement in cinema.




Although younger, Truffart influenced Godard's filmmaking, and the freeze-frame scene that ends Breathless pays homage to a similar technique used in The 400 Blows, as the documentary explains. Full of tidbits about their respective careers, influences, and inspirations, this is a must-buy for anyone interested in the story behind theu00a0 friendship, ideology and eventual fall out between the two legends.
