Nouvelle Vague
From Fri 30 Jan to Thu 26 FebParis, 1959. A young and rebellious director begins work on his first feature. His name is Jean-Luc Godard, and the film will be Breathless. With Nouvelle Vague, American cinephile filmmaker Richard Linklater (Before Midnight, Boyhood) brings this moment to life, capturing the electric atmosphere and free spirit of a cinematic revolution in the making. Shot on 35mm and in black and white, the film pays a poignant homage to the French New Wave and the artists who shaped it, such as Godard, Truffaut, Rohmer, Chabrol, Varda, and many others.
Nouvelle Vague is a strong contender at the French Académie des César 2026 with 10 nominations, including Best Film.
