About this Quote

This quote from Eva Green speaks with the generational divide in between her mom's generation and her own. Her mom became part of the New Wave, a period of French movie theater in the 1950s and 1960s that was identified by its innovative and speculative technique to filmmaking. Nevertheless, Eva Green was shocked to find that she didn't understand much about this period. This recommends that she was not exposed to the New Wave in her own training, which her mom's generation was more knowledgeable about it than her own. Bernado, probably an instructor or coach, then showed her and her peers movies of the presentations of the time, which likely provided her a better understanding of the New Wave and its influence on French culture. This quote talks to the value of understanding the past in order to much better comprehend the present.
