Dimensions: 17.3 x 17.7 in Print produced in 2014 for the François Truffaut exhibition at the Cinémathèque française, to mark the 30th anniversary of the filmmaker’s death, Paris, 8 October 2014 – 15 January 2015. Account by Raymond Cauchetier: 24 August 1959 – 10.00 am – Champs-Élysées. “Only experts know that this photograph, which over time has become the emblem of the film, and indeed of the New Wave, is not a still from the set. The film sequence depicting the meeting between Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo had just been shot at the top of the Champs-Élysées, amidst the crowd, by the cameraman hidden in a Post Office pushchair. But there were so many onlookers that I decided to take the actors right to the bottom of the avenue, to a spot that was still deserted, to re-enact the scene and capture it in a single image. My experience with photo-novels came in handy, as it allowed me to earn a living between film projects. I could never have imagined that this improvised direction of the actors would go on to have such an exceptional impact."
