I can't believe they chose only one Chabrol film--he's great! The French Hitchcock.
Also, maybe they should have screened some Robert Bresson along with Melville? He was influential to the New Wave.
excellent interview, by the way. thanks.
are these movies available on hulu.com or similar sites? it is frustrating to search hulu for good movies. a list of good french movies available online would be appreciated.
Other films from 1959: Some Like It Hot, North By North West, The World of Apu.
