Review Quotes: [...] Schmid's book provides a new angle of inquiry for analyzing New Wave films, and the strength of the book lies in its analysis of a large and diverse body of cinematic works as well as a review of existing scholarship. [It] offers a clear and comprehensive analysis of the ways in which New Wave directors built their revolutionary cinema through engagement with other revolutionary artists in media ranging from theater to architecture.--Dayna Oscherwitz, Southern Methodist University "H-France Review Vol. 21, No. 16"
