Two in the Wave

Two in the Wave is a documentary film that delves into the complex and captivating relationship between two of French New Wave's most influential directors, François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. The film explores their initial friendship and mutual love of cinema, which led to their collaboration on films such as The 400 Blows and Breathless. Through rare archival footage, interviews, and film excerpts, the documentary reveals the evolution of their relationship and how it was shaped by their differing views on politics and cinema. The film culminates with the pivotal 1973 incident where Godard criticized Truffaut's Oscar-winning film Day for Night, leading to a 20-page letter response from Truffaut. Narrated by Antoine de Baecque, a former Cahiers du Cinéma editor and Truffaut biographer, Two in the Wave offers a unique insight into the lives and careers of these two cinematic legends.
