He pioneered the technique of cinema verite, which became the hallmark of documentary filmmaking in the latter part of the twentieth century and which had a profound impact on such notable filmmakers as Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut. As the Sixties rolled in, not the least of the revolutionary cultural forces crashing onto American shores was the remarkable collection of French filmmakers known as La Nouvelle Vague, with the still-familiar names of Claude Chabrol, Louis Malle, Alain Resnais, Francois Truffaut, Agnes Varda, Jacques Demy, and Erich Rohmer.
