My favorite nouvelle vague director at the moment is Jacques Rivette, probably the most unknown of all. This is partly due to the fact that most of his films are longer than average. But personally I think he is one of the most experimental filmmakers who is still able to make remarkeble films. 

Recommendations are:

- Celine and Julie go boathing (1974) : a brilliant, lightly surrealistic fantasy

- Jeanne de Bucelles part I & II (1994) : one of the best films based on the live on Jeanne d'Arc

- Haus bas Fragile (1995) : inspired by the Hollywood musicals of the thirties.
