- These four men came to be known as 'The Turks' and later began making films of their own when the social climate permitted it.
- The development of a new cinematic style following the depression of the war years
- Directors sought to portray real life through cinema
- But cinematic production was difficult due to France's post-war financial crisis
- The lack of funds actually allowed for a more realistic approach
