Nouvelle Vague is the latest film by Richard Linklater. The story aims to reconstruct the history of the French New Wave through the making of Breathless, the 1959 film by renowned director Jean-Luc Godard.
"A biographical drama that revisits the aesthetic revolution of the French New Wave under Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Before Sunrise), who reimagines the making of Breathless with young performers embodying key figures of French film mythology, including Jean Seberg, Jean-Paul Belmondo and Godard himself. The film dives into the improvised energy, formal rebellion and creative chaos that turned the original work into a global landmark, celebrating the cultural impact of 1959 and the transformative power of cinephilia — an invitation to revisit, with fresh eyes, the moment cinema chose to reinvent itself."
