New Wave
In his thirties he played a role in the French New Wave and discussed the beginnings of "the new cinema." He was also a co-founder of Cahiers du cinéma and defended Alain Robbe-Grillet.[3] His own works in this area include directing the film L'Eau à la bouche and acting in some New Wave films. Nevertheless he is generally excluded from the movement's "inner circle."[4] Additionally he was friends with François Truffaut who shot the film Une Visite in his flat.[5] He was married to Françoise Brion.[6]
