Cinema Guild Acquires Restored Films Of French New Wave Master Luc Moullet

Cinema Guild will mount a touring theatrical retrospective of Moullet’s work starting at Film at Lincoln Center in New York in August.

At the age of 18, Moullet joined the ranks of Cahiers du Cinéma, where he was the first to champion Hollywood B-directors like Samuel Fuller and Edgar G. Ulmer. Following the footsteps of other Cahiers alums like Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, Moullet became a filmmaker himself, creating a diverse body of work often characterized by its scrappiness, eclecticism, irreverence, and rejection of mainstream techniques. The company recently mounted retrospectives of the pioneering Portuguese filmmaker João César Monteiro and Japanese director Shinji Somai.
