An eight-part series on the history of French cinema from the postwar era to New Wave and beyond. Unearths the stories behind the films’ creation through live and archival interviews with the producers of the films in the series, as well as colleagues, family members, and experts on French cinema. Interlaced throughout is footage from a wealth of classic French films.
Dissatisfied in Hollywood, brothers Robert and Raymond Hakim returned to France to re-launch their careers. André Paulvé, a grain broker, talked his way into his first production. Alexandre Mnouchkine parlayed fur business cash into a life in cinema. Larger-than-life, cigar-chomping Henry Deutchmeister built a faux 18th-century manor — replete with modular edit suites.
