The French New Wave- 1960-1965 Paying particular attention to Godard and Truffaut

I will be studying the French New Wave for my contextual research. I will be focusing mainly on both Godard and Truffaut. I am paying particular attention to these directors due to the drastic effect they had on the film industry at that time, but also the effect they would have on young directors just starting to come into the industry. I am going to be researching into four films, two from both of the directors. Truffaut's films 'Jules Et Jim' (1962) and 'Tirez Sur Le Pianiste' (1960), and Godard's films 'A Bout De Souffle' (1960) and 'Vivre Sa Vie' (1962), were all very popular films during the time they were made, however they are also four films that have had a massive impact on the film industry today.
