Popis: Raymond Durgnat, in his monograph on the New Wave directors,1 stigmatizes their films as characterized by emotional "dryness," but this remark does not do justice to the passionate concern for the status of the emotional life that pervades the films of Resnais or Varda or Truffaut or Godard. Yet what is "emotion?" Where is it located in the films and how is it conveyed? Emotion in these films is problematical and this concept, the most contested in all of modern psychology, cannot be assigned an unequivocal valence in the work.
