Tossup

A group of people watching a film debate the merits of the personal confessions of a woman who works for this organization. In one film, a character played by Jean-Claude Brialy eats while reading an issue of this publication, which employs Mary Lou in Chronicle of a Summer. An issue of this non-American publication appears in the background of a scene where the protagonist steals money from the handbag of a model played by Liliane David. In that film, a woman advertising this publication stops the protagonist on the street (-5[1])and asks if he has anything against (-5[1])the young, to which he responds, (*) “Yes, I prefer the old.” Early issues of this magazine featured bright yellow covers with images from Hollywood (10[1])films, and later promoted (-5[1])its editors’ (10[1])own films, (10[1])such as Le Beau (10[1])Serge and Breathless. For 10 points, Claude Chabrol and Jean-Luc Godard wrote for what film magazine, a key influence for the films of the French New Wave? ■END■ (10[1])
