A playful, poignant love letter to cinema, Richard Linklater reimagines the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless in an exuberant exploration of the youthful rebellion and creative chaos that shaped the French New Wave.
Marbeck plays Godard at the dawn of his career, directing Seberg and Belmondo as star-crossed lovers, filming with unorthodox spontaneity on the streets of Paris.
Working alongside other key players, friends and creative collaborators like Francois Truffaut – who’s shooting The 400 Blows – Claude Chabrol, Roberto Rossellini, Jean-Pierre Melville and Jacques Rivette, the pressure to produce a masterpiece is impossible to escape…
Beautifully shot in monochrome, Nouvelle Vague is an ode not just to Breathless and the art of filmmaking, but to a transformative period that spawned modern cinema.
Dir. Richard Linklater, France, 2025, 106 mins. In French with English subtitles. Cast. Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin.
