Description: "The Age of New Waves presents a trenchant global and comparative study of new wave cinemas, from the French nouvelle vague to films from Taiwan, mainland China, and the U.S. in the late twentieth century. Drawing on a diverse array of filmmakers--Jean-Luc Godard, Agnès Varda, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Jia Zhangke, Arthur Penn, Melvin Van Peebles, and others--James Tweedie highlights the integral roles played by youth and urban centers in the proliferation of new waves throughout the world."--Back cover.
