Abstract
Alfred hitchcock's fascination with French culture emanates in nearly all of his films. Conversely, many aspects outlining the fundamental guidelines of the 1950's French film movement adopted quintessential "Hitchcockian" devices. hitchcock's influence on French filmmakers shaped much of what's known as La Nouvelle Vague or, French new wave. Post WWII France saw an influx of American made films immediately following the Liberation in 1944 as they had been banned during the reign of the Vichy Regime. The effects of this explosion sparked new life into French cinema. hitchcock in particular played a key role in the development of modern French cinema as his films generated heated controversy among critics. Celebrated film theorist, Andre Bazin first scoffed at hitchcock's filmmaking while younger, blossoming critics and filmmakers like Francois truffaut, Jean-Luc godard and Claude Chabrol praised his work as innovative and avant-garde. However, with time, Bazin and other detractors of hitchcock's work changed their positions
