{"product_id":"9781851497911","title":"Raymond Cauchetier's New Wave","description":"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. In the photographs of Raymond Cauchetier we bear witness to the great artistic genius that was central to the process of making these films. Cauchetier's photographs are a culturally important documentary of the director at work, his methods and processes. His photographs capture some of the most memorable moments in film; Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg on the Champs Élysées in A bout de souffle, Jeanne Moreau in the race scene of Jules et Jim, Anna Karina in a Parisian Cafe in Une femme est une femme.But Cauchetier's genius lies also in the fact that his photographs are far above just a visual record of these films. They clearly show the same spirit, the same freedom and the same originality that made The New Wave so important. Cauchetier's photographs are as much a part of The New Wave as the films themselves. In the words of Richard Brody: In these images, Raymond Cauchetier, a witness to art, made art by bearing true witness.This is the first book published in English featuring the New Wave film photographs of Raymond Cauchetier.","brand":"Raymond Cauchetier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47709861871934,"sku":"9781851497911","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781851497911_30d7284f-8856-4106-b84a-c19b75a2b79b.jpg?v=1707639434","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781851497911","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
