I'm not sure what to make of the section above--Truffaut's last film was completed in 1983, and Godard finished one last year (2000). Do you mean that these were influential personalities during that era? Why in that era specifically? What did they do? Would they be as influential now, with later generations continuing to discover their work at revival houses and on video? Also, could I add Louis Malle? ([Au Revoir Les Enfants]?, Damage?, [My Dinner With Andre]?) |
