I'm a big JLG & Truffaut (French New Wave in general) freak & for the same reasons, WKW....The New Wave, Asian & French, seems to resonate with me in the same way. I see it as an avant-garde style that strays from traditional narrative techniques to instead, an emotionally detached collage that examines (over-the-top usage of symbolism) the abstraction of modern society & culture, and in particular of social alienation and sexual love.
