French New Wave

French New Wave was a very popular genre in the 60s that consisted of jump cuts, improv, realism, and homemade-looking cinematography. Two very important directors from this time were Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, and were considered the fathers of French New Wave. A modern day director who incorporates qualities of French New Wave into his work is Quentin Tarantino.
