NOUVELLE VAGUE is Richard Linklater’s love letter to the revolutionary magic of the French New Wave, reimagining the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s BREATHLESS (1960), which cemented Godard’s place as a pioneer of global cinema. As critic-turned-director Godard makes and breaks the rules, a mix of fresh faces and daring talents bring his spontaneous, electric film to life. Capturing the youthful dynamism and creative chaos at the heart of one of the world’s most beloved and influential movies, NOUVELLE VAGUE transports us to the streets of 1959 Paris for an ode to the transformative power of cinema. In 35mm.
