NOUVELLE VAGUE (2025)

Everyone loves the new wave.

Directed by the great Richard Linklater, the brand new comedy-drama Nouvelle Vague follows the filming of Jean-Luc Godards' French New Wave classic Breathless.

After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, a young Jean-Luc Godard (Guillaume Marbeck) decides making films is the best film criticism. He convinces producer Georges de Beauregard (Bruno Dreyfürst) to fund a low-budget feature and, with fellow New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut (Adrien Rouyard), creates a treatment about a gangster couple. The result? Breathless is one of the first features of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema.

The film is a love letter to the revolutionary magic of the French New Wave and a homage to Godard's influential 1960 film, capturing its youthful dynamism and creative chaos.
