This 5th episode of Floating Through Film is about the French New Wave filmmakers that weren't part of the Cahier du Cinema Group, commonly referred to as the "Left Bank" Group. The core members of this group were Chris Marker, Alain Resnais and Agnès Varda, but others at the time can also be considered a part of this group, especially including Varda's husband Jacques Demy. We begin the episode by giving our own thoughts on these filmmakers, and how we think of them in relation to the Cahier du Cinema group. We then move to the main portion of our podcast, where we review Chris Marker's 1962 film La Jetée (17:05), Jacques Demy's 1964 film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (29:00), and Agnès Varda's 1962 film Cléo from 5 to 7 (48:26).Movies We're Reviewing Next Week: François Truffaut's Jules and Jim (1962), Jean-Luc Godard's Masculin Féminin (1966), and Chris Marker's Sans Soleil (1983)Link to the "Once Upon a Time . . .
