Nouvelle Vague Video Essay
-----
Nouvelle Vague was a phase in french cinema that involved many things. This is an essay to explore their movie aesthetic that was free, improvised, made with unexperienced and young actors, shot with camera in hand, usually in the streets of paris. Their subjects were usually love stories and robbers, and to express that, the movies usually had scenes of couples in beds with white sheets, people dancing and people running.
This video essay is about people running in those films, because it's an act that represents all of its spontaneity, freedom, adventure and love. It begins and ends with the starting point and end of Breathless (Jean-Luc Godard, 1960), movie that dictated all of the Nouvelle Vague aesthetics.
This video was made for the class Movie Aesthetics of the Visual Design course at ESPM-Sul, orientated by Alfredo Barros and made by Giulia Müller and Isabella Baccin.
The movies that are shown are (in no specific order): Breathless (Godard, 1960), Jules et Jim (Truffaut, 1962), Bande à Part (Godard, 1964) e Vivre sa Vie (Godard, 1962).
Soundtrack: "Antitaxi" by La Femme
