Reimagining the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, Richard Linklater’s Golden Globe-nominated Nouvelle Vague is a playful, poignant love letter to cinema and an exuberant exploration of the youthful rebellion and creative tumult 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 (Adrien Rouyard) – who’s shooting The 400 Blows – Claude Chabrol (Antoine Besson), Roberto Rossellini (Laurent Mothe) and Jacques Rivette (Jonas Marmy), the pressure to produce a masterpiece is impossible to escape…

Beautifully shot in monochrome, Nouvelle Vague is an ode to Breathless, a transformative period that spawned modern cinema and the intense, cross-pollinatory creativity of the personalities behind it.
