...there was the Nouvelle Vague. Tire au flanc 62 it's a wild comedy about the army. Truffaut and his friend Claude De Givray (Stolen Kisses and Bed and Board co-writer) made this film to laugh at institution that ruined part of their lives. Fast paced and deliberate chaotic, Tire au flanc 62 tells the story of two young men trying to make fun of their duty at the army.

Very close to the Cahiers du Cinema point of view about the modern cinema, this movie it was a step forward of the genre and one of the first contemporary comedies.
