Set against the vibrant backdrop of late-1950s Paris, Nouvelle Vague is directed by Richard Linklater and chronicles the chaotic, rule-breaking genesis of Jean-Luc Godard’s revolutionary 1960 masterpiece, “Breathless”.
Starring Guillaume Marbeck as a defiant, sunglasses-clad Godard, Zoey Deutch as Hollywood expat Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin as magnetic newcomer Jean-Paul Belmondo, the film captures the infectious energy of a group of Cahiers du Cinéma critics turning into auteurs.
Shot entirely in French, in striking black-and-white, and with the spontaneous visual flair of the movement it celebrates, Linklater’s comedy-drama is an affectionate, witty love letter to the birth of modern cinema and the intoxicating thrill of making art without boundaries.
