Storyline

Breathless (1960) , a landmark of the French New Wave film movement. Nouvelle Vague is Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater's love letter to the revolutionary magic of the French New Wave, reimagining the making of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, which ultimately cemented Godard as a pioneer of global cinema. As critic turned director Godard makes and breaks the rules, a mix of fresh faces and daring talents - including Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Guillaume Marbeck as Godard himself - 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. France, 1959. After François Truffaut 's success at the Cannes Film Festival with The 400 Blows (1959) , Jean-Luc Godard , a young film critic for the Cahiers du Cinéma, decides to make his directorial debut. Inspired by a real 1952 tabloid story, Godard casts Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg for the leading roles to tell the sensational story of charming hoodlum Michel Poiccard and his brief affair with Patricia, an American student and aspiring journalist. As the 29-year-old director bends the rules of traditional filmmaking, redefining the meaning of editing, he ushers in a new era of cinematic storytelling with his stylish and semi-improvised Breathless (1960) , the film that changed cinema. — Nick Riganas
