16See Chap. 2 for discussion on Marc Betz’s ‘textual traces’. In Vallois’s work, these ‘traces’ are identifiable, at a very essential level, in the low budget, contemporary, on-location shooting, responsive and innovative perspectives adopted. It is worth taking note of Neupert’s assessment of the ‘mythical version’ of New Wave directors of the 1950s and 1960s (2007, p. 178). The claim is that these filmmakers sought to remain independent from any formative process that was deemed restrictive, such as those that necessitated the following of certain courses or working initially under the direction of other directors or commercially-driven projects for a period of time (ibid.). Vallois attended L’École Lumière in Paris for his training, and, while having done a small amount of commercial television work, does not suggest in Tabous et Transgressions that he would never have wished not to be extremely successful. This makes the assessment by Mitifiot that Vallois has been excluded from the canon because of his homosexuality all the more plausible (2013, p. 5).
