She is often associated with the UsefulNotes/FrenchNewWave, but, rather than belonging to the group who started off as critics for Cahiers du Cinema, she was part of the Left Bank Group with Creator/AlainResnais, Chris Marker, Marguerite Duras, and Creator/JacquesDemy (her husband until his death in 1990). Varda's status as one of the few female directors of the movement often overshadows her own innovations. In particular, her use of location shooting and nonprofessional actors had a notable influence on the other New Wave directors.
