A special screening event, "Nouvelle Vague Lovers," will be held at Bunkamura Le Cinema in Shibuya, Tokyo, from July 4th to 31st.

The "Nouvelle Vague" refers to the "new wave" film movement that began in France in the late 1950s. Its flagship director, Jean-Luc Godard, and young directors of the time, such as François Truffaut, emerged, producing a succession of films with direction and ideas that overturned preconceived notions. In particular, his work, which vividly and realistically portrayed the emotions of lovers living in Paris, garnered immense support from young people of the time.

The event will screen a total of 21 films from the Nouvelle Vague, which have had a major impact on filmmakers around the world. The lineup includes François Truffaut's Sudden Flame (1962), The 400 Blows (1959), and The 400 Blows (1979), Jean-Luc Godard's The 400 Blows (1964) and Masculine Feminine (1966), Louis Malle's Zazie de la Metro (1960), and Leos Carax's masterpiece The 400 Blows (1986), known as the "successor of the New Wave." This is a collection of films that still exude vivid charm half a century later. Many of the films shown are now rare 35mm films, making this a four-week opportunity for film fans and culture lovers alike to rediscover the New Wave.
