You could argue that the French New Wave was started by the Italian Neorealists.
I recently watched Visconti's Neorealist classic Rocco & His Brothers, Had to laugh though as three of the actors were dubbed and Delons boxing technique is far from real.

You could argue in turn that the Italian Neorealists were heavily influenced by Jean Renoir - who even employed at least one of them (Luchino Visconti was his assistant on Une Partie de Campagne). And of course Renoir was one of the few pre-1950s French directors - Jean Vigo being the other - that the nouvelle vague crowd really did have time for.

Sorry to go off topic but the Complete Jean Vigo from Artificial Eye is well worth a punt.

Well thanks very much, wow, you people know an awful lot more about cinema than me! Did many of you study cinema, or has it been a life long passion?

I think the first film that got me into older British cinema was "The lonliness of the long distance runner". Its amusing to think this was so hard hitting and controversial back in its day. It seemed more like soft version of "Grange hill" to me.

I noticed someone mentioned "The servant", I particularly love this film, It's gleefully dark and sordid.

I guess the only bummer about being into older films, is that you eventually run out of "great" movies to see.

Anyway, cheers for your responses. talk to you again

Matt

I honestly don't think I know anyone who'd agree with that.
