About Vague Visages:
Mission: Vague Visages aims to publish high-quality writing about world cinema and culture. The site maintains a balance of indie and mainstream coverage, allowing for a unique blend of perspectives.
Origins:ย Inspired by the cinema movement known as La Nouvelle Vague, Q.V. Hough created an image-based blog called โFaces of the French New Waveโ in 2014. For a creative twist, the siteโs name quickly changed to โVague Visagesโ (aka Wave Faces) in honor of French New Wave filmmakers and American indie filmmaker John Cassavetes (director of the 1968 film Faces).
Shift to Film Criticism:ย Q.V. moved Vague Visages from Blogger to WordPress in late 2014, using the French publication Cahiers du cinรฉmaย as a thematic model.
