    Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot. With Brigitte Bardot, Charles Vanel,
    Paul Meurisse
    France/Italy 1960, 35mm, b/w, 124 min. French with English subtitles
    With La Verité Clouzot responded to the accusations of his own irrelevance hurled by the nouvelle vague upstarts who brazenly grouped him together with the so-called "cinéma du papa" of the old guard that they adamantly repudiated. Clouzot in turn cast youth idol Brigitte Bardot in one of her most popular roles as a restless Rive Gauche bohemian who falls dangerously in love with a self-absorbed and elitist composer. The extended courtroom drama that unfolds across the film's second half can be understood as a bold attempt to scrutinize the contemporary youth scene in order to understand the aims and morality of the Sixties generation.
