A tribute to the French New Wave! "Little Love Song of Paris"

author:Empty mirror solo

Or each of us has a little love song dedicated to this beautiful film era.

From "Four Hundred Blows" and "Exhausted" to "The Umbrella of Cherbourg" and "Cleo at Five to Seven", the French New Wave, which dates back nearly 60 years, has influenced generations of young people regardless of borders. And the contemporary French director Christopher Honoré grew up in the light and shadow of the New Wave, and he loves movies, especially the charming video time of the New Wave.

In his works, he unabashedly expressed his fascination with the New Wave, among which "Little Love Song of Paris" is a chanson dedicated to the New Wave by his deep affection.

"Little Love Song of Paris"

A tribute to the everyday and poetic nature of the New Wave

Honoré likes to gaze at France with those rambling, realistic empty shots, like the first shot of "Four Hundred Blows", using light and shadow to record the imperceptible poetic side of a city.

The French love knowledge, love books, new wave lenses amplify these French characteristics, and Honoré's lenses are the same, vividly and interestingly showing the trivialities of French life.

A tribute to the romance and sadness of the New Wave

He pays homage to Jacques Demi's romantic song and dance, "The Umbrella of Cherbourg", and like it, "Little Love Song of Paris" is divided into three chapters: departing, absent, returning, and humming in a low voice the twists and turns of lover's story.

Like Truffaut and Godard, his new wave predecessors, he loved to shape ambiguous three-person relationships and flick on complex and unspeakable modern love.

Like Zu, Cham and Catherine in "Zu and Cham", Arthur, Franz and Odile in "The Extralegal", Emile, Alfred and Angela in "Women are Women", between the three, there is a lot of affection.

Those new wave after the wave

In addition to using the plot and elements of the film to pay tribute to the New Wave, Christopher Honoré also chose some New Wave descendants as film actors.

The male protagonist, Ismail, played by Louis Garrell, whose father is Philippe Garrell, is known as the son of the New Wave, spanning the French "New Wave" and "Post-New Wave".

Marcelo Mastruani is a well-known Italian actor who represents the glorious era of Italian cinema and is the screen incarnation of the famous Italian director Federico Fellini in "Eight and a Half Parts" and "La Dolce Vita".
