NOUVELLE VAGUE

In the organizer's words:

1959: Paris is in turmoil. The "Cahiers du Cinéma" had been defending a certain idea of cinema for almost ten years. A new generation of filmmakers emerged; their names were François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, Éric Rohmer, Alain Resnais, Agnès Varda and Jacques Demy. Nouvelle Vague, which premiered in Cannes in May 2025, retells the production and genesis of Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 cult film Out of Breath starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, which is considered a classic of French cinema and the movement of the same name.
As a great storyteller, American independent filmmaker Richard Linklater delivers a stirring homage to an iconic work of film history. Far from the didactic film, Nouvelle Vague captures the crazy energy and intellectual and cultural excitement of the time. This is Linklater's first project to be shot entirely in French.

Nouvelle Vague raconte la production de À bout de souffle, film culte de Jean-Luc Godard avec Jean-Paul Belmondo et Jean Seberg, sorti en 1960 et considéré comme un classique du cinéma français et du mouvement éponyme. Le cinéaste indépendant américain Richard Linklater rend un hommage poignant à une œuvre emblématique de l'histoire du cinéma. Loin d'être un film didactique, Nouvelle Vague restitue l'énergie folle et l'effervescence intellectuelle et culturelle de l'époque.
