Thanks a bunch. You guys have been a big help...I'll keep asking you more questions as I start working.
Interesting what all of you mention about the connect between neo-realist cinema and FNW.
If I specifically take Breathless, Godard's first film, how do you think neo-realism has affected this film...I'd think the way it was made - Coutard shooting on the streets of Paris with available lighting and all that perhaps borrows from the way neo-realism films were made. But is the content/theme of the movie itself following on from neo-realism?
