This paper compares the similarities and differences between the French films New Wave and Left Bank School with examples.

"Left Shore School" and "New Wave" almost appeared at the same time, so some scholars regard "Left Shore School" as a part of "New Wave". There are some similarities between "Left" and "New" in the pursuit of artistic innovation, but their aesthetic pursuit is also very obvious. The main figures of the Left Bank School are Aaron Rene and Margaret Dura. Compared with the new wave, Zuo 'an School is more widely influenced by modernism. Left Bank films focus on the inner feelings, mental states and psychological activities of the characters. They think that people's psychological activities are more abundant than external actions, so "Left Shore School" movies strive to put people's psychological activities on the screen. Influenced by the existential philosophy represented by Sartre, Zuo 'an School's films show the chaos, absurdity and irrationality of the world, the huge irreconcilable contradictions and crises in the relationship between man and nature, man and society, and man himself, focusing on the alienation of the modern capitalist world. Zuo 'an School's directors are very interested in the process of people's inner and spiritual development, preferring to recall, recall, imagination and subconscious activities. So Freud's psychoanalysis is also the theoretical source of his creation. In addition, modern aestheticism, such as Bergson's intuitionism and Brecht's alienation effect, has also been widely used in Left Bank movies. The theme of the film focuses on the contradiction between "memory and forgetting". For example, the movie "Love in Hiroshima" begins with a naked man and woman hugging, followed by a peaceful dialogue: "Man, you didn't see anything in Hiroshima, you didn't see anything. . . "Woman: I saw everything, everything", the film shows the characters through a lot of flashbacks and voiceovers, and skillfully interweaves the past and the present, reality and imagination in the emotional ups and downs of the characters. You can go to Hiroshima and Aaron to see love. The biggest feature of Rainey's films muriel and New Wave is the "author's film" style which emphasizes personal color and advocates the director's personalized expression. To this end, they first carried out a revolution in film production and production technology. The slogan of the new wave movie is "The important thing in making a movie is not to make a movie, but to be a filmmaker". Their film production cost is low, which breaks the narrative mode and plot structure since Griffith and disrupts the plot structure. The main directors are: Godard, Truffaut and so on. You can refer to the analysis of Godard's Exhaustion and Truffaut's Four Hundred Down. The "Left Shore School" is unique in the exploration of film language and attaches great importance to film editing. They call themselves "Film Editing School". In order to break the screen dream mechanism represented by Hollywood and boldly innovate the film language, it shows different characteristics from the traditional ones in film scriptwriting, photography, sound effects and editing skills. In photography, it pays attention to photography and documentary aesthetics, and in editing, it adopts a large number of follow-up shots and snap shots to break the principle of smooth film pictures. Godard uses adjustment and quick editing to cancel the traditional fade-in and fade-out techniques, and Truffaut and claude chabrol play long-shot narration. It may not be particularly specific, but my hand hurts. That's all. I hope it helps you.
