Challenges to Realism – Nouvelle Vague – a Quick Diary Entry ..

"The story is stupid but it’s really well written" – "Look at me, look how good I am, see what I did there!"

My impression of the nouvelle vague is a very distancing one (a word I’ve heard and read alot this week), each film I have seen distincly reminds me of Tarantino. The disposable view of human life, the mundane conversation and the self-refelxivity of the filmmaking process within the film. The exposure to the mechanical artistry of filmmaking is very apparent.

While a single view of the city is hard to find, the representation in key films tends to revolve around a limited number of themes.
