Cast: Daniel Gélin, Brigitte Auber, Nicole Courcel
Before the Nouvelle Vague denoted a film movement, it referred to the postwar generation of French youth: twentysomethings like aspiring actress Christine (Courcel), her anthropologist boyfriend Lucien (Gélin), and their fun, good-looking friends. Becker, an eternal inspiration for Truffaut and others, captured the spirit of the time with this effervescent, ultimately revelatory romantic comedy, a prototype for the French New Wave.
