The French New Wave

How was the French New Wave connected to Auteur Theory? What was so different about French New Wave films from those that came before it?

The French New Wave came when the World War ended and the German control over film receded. It gave the filmmakers the opportunity to reach beyond the typical studio's filmmaking rules. They often used forbidden techniques such as jump cuts to express certain emotions that were thought to be inappropriate for the cinema. This movement allowed the filmmakers to prove that a great film can be made without the strict rules or high budget productions. The rejection of hollow replications of famous novels paved the way to the break through of the new cinema.
