I don't believe that a lot of New Wave is pretentious, to be honest. I think that movies like
Last Year At Marienbad or
Hiroshima mon amour were just different films, moving in a different direction, as opposed to "pretentious."
Godard, Truffaut, Demy, and many others made films which were fairly straight-forward, really.
Godard obviously had different elements of his career. And something like
Breathless or
Vivre sa vie are very different from something like even
Weekend, let alone his more didactic work of the last few years.
