Two In the Wave (Deux de la Vague)
Directed by: Emmanuel Laurent
Cast: Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, Jean-Pierre Léaud
Running Time: 1 hr 35 min
Rating: Unrated
Release Date: December 3, 2010 (limited)
Plot: Using archival footage, filmmaker Laurent tells the story of the rise and dissipation of the French New Wave through it’s two most lauded directors, Godard and Truffaut.
Who’S It For? It helps to know something about the French New Wave or be familiar with some of the films. But it could work as a primer too.
Expectations: When I was in college, I had a friend who was obsessed with the New Wave and I learned a lot through him and seeing films with him. So I thought I was reasonably well versed.
Scorecard (0-10)
Talking: The film’s in French with English subtitles. There’s a good deal of narration that tells the parallel stories of Godard...

Two highly-anticipated second feature films from U.S. underground filmmakers will be making their World Premieres all the way over at the 64th annual Edinburgh International Film Festival, which will run for twelve days on June 16-27. The films are Rona Mark’s The Crab and Zach Clark’s Vacation!.
The Crab, which screens on June 21, is the touching story of a verbally abusive man born with two enormous, mutant-like hands; while Vacation!, which screens on June 20, tracks four urban gals let loose in a sunny seaside resort down South.
Both Mark and Clark previously screened their debut features at Eiff. Mark’s Strange Girls screened there in 2008 and Clark’s Modern Love Is Automatic screened in 2009. Both films also ended up as runners-up in Bad Lit’s annual Movie of the Year award, again Strange Girls in 2008 and Modern Love in 2009. Sadly, these two masterpieces are still unavailable on...

I know it’s like “totally cliche” for a film fan to cite Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut as two of their favorite directors, but there are good reasons why these two are so revered. Last year saw the premiere of Emmanuel Laurent’s Two In The Wave (Deux De La Vague) at Cannes. The film, narrated by historian and critic Antoine de Baecque focuses on the relationship between Godard and Truffaut.
