Reimagining the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague is a playful, poignant love letter to cinema and an exuberant exploration of the youthful rebellion and creative tumult that shaped the French New Wave. Newcomer Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard at the dawn of his career, directing Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) and Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dullin) as star-crossed lovers, filming with unorthodox spontaneity on the streets of Paris. Beautifully shot in monochrome, Nouvelle Vague is an ode not just to Breathless and the art of film making, but to a transformative period that spawned modern cinema.
