Richard Linklater pays tribute to a film that shook the world like few others and sparked an aesthetic revolution that still fascinates audiences: Jean-Luc Godard’s À bout de souffle (Breathless) (1960). In Nouvelle Vague, the American director revives the French New Wave and goes back to the locations where Godard’s tiny film crew improvised scenes to offer a fly-on-the-wall tale on how a semi-chaotic, seemingly unimportant shoot led by a young, moody visionary became one of the most influential films in cinema history.
2025. France. Directed by Richard Linklater. Screenplay by Holly Gent, Laeititia Masson, Vincent Palmo Jr., Michèle Pétin. With Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin. DCP courtesy Netflix. 106 min.
