FAQ About The Cultural Impact of New Wave Cinema

Can you explain the concept of "breaking the fourth wall" and its use in New Wave cinema?
"Breaking the fourth wall" refers to a technique where characters directly address the audience, acknowledging the film's artifice. This was used in New Wave cinema, particularly by directors like Jean-Luc Godard, to disrupt the illusion of realism and engage viewers in a more direct and thought-provoking manner.
