Without comparison,there is no history and without history,there is no story,not to mention storytelling,an ex-ercise of which man's being is indispensable.True,the trend of Hollywood taking on location shooting in Paris in the 1950s is highly related to a series of economic agreements between France and America,but this in situ preoccupation will soon become a pretext for those Young Turks taking over Cahiers du cinéma,intensely in confrontation with the communist critics in the context of the cold war,to privilege mise-en-scène as the criterion par excellence regarding the realism.Quite arguably,it is thanks to this cinephilic commitment that the Nouvelle Vague could be possible and only in this way could it rejuvenate,by turns,Holly-wood,then in crisis:the exterior conditions surely can influence the history of cinema,but only an endeavor up to the cinephilia could guarantee its everlasting becoming.
