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.

Newcomer Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard at the dawn of his career, directing Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) and Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dill) 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 and the intense, cross-pollinatory creativity and ambition of the personalities behind it.
