"I always thought the cinema was great but lacked sincerity and we ought to do it better," said Francois Truffaut.
"There were myths to be destroyed," said Jean-Luc Godard. "Therefore we had to kill those myths for cinema to be reborn."
Check out the trailer for Lorber Films' doc Two in the Wave, on co-founders of the French New Wave, Truffaut and Godard, recent no-show winner of an honorary Oscar.

Don't waste your time. This movie is not as inventive nor as playful as its subject matter. A total bore! Badly told with dull voice over, like an educational film from the 1950s. The only thing good is some of the archival footage of Trufffaut and Godard.
