Although French movies from the post-war period were largely of the Saturday night type with little aesthetical punch, we mustn´t forget the presence of the big filmmakers who made a large part of their work during this period. Like the beads on a necklace, the authors break down and analyse -based on the above-mentioned premise- the meaning of the theory and work methods of Robert Bresson (the role of the actors, the acting, the "mise-en-scène" ...), the characteristics of Cocteau´s "narcissist cinema" or the groundbreaking tendency of Roquier or Malraux, ending with an examination of the work and style of three key filmmakers from the period: Becker, Melville and Leenhardt.
