Documentaries about Bonnie and Clyde and French New Wave?


Looking for documentaries and books (but docs to begin with) about the influence of Nouvelle Vague on this film. I know there's a documentary on the Blu Ray called 'Revolution: The Making of Bonnie and Clyde'. Any more suggestions?

Thanks

Check out the book "Pictures at a Revolution" by Mark Harris. It's all about the five Best Picture nominees from 1967. Has a pretty detailed (albeit gossippy) rundown of the entire production of each of the films -- so you read quite a bit about Truffaut's involvement in the early years of the movie.

I didn't even know François Truffaut was ever a part of the project. What's the matter with, me, lol? I'll have to check out that book, myself. Thanks!

The final episode of "Moguls and Movie Stars" has some things to say about Nouvelle Vague and about B&C, though it doesn't draw any direct connection between them:
