DIR: RICHARD LINKLATER. WITH: GUILLAUME MARBECK, ZOEY DEUTCH, AUBRY DULLIN. FRANCE 2025. 105 MINUTES. FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
The making of one of the most influential films in cinema history is lovingly recreated in Richard Linklater’s exuberant new drama. Nouvelle Vague captures the anarchic spirit at work when director Jean-Luc Godard setsout to make Breathless in 1960.
Inspired by a newspaper story, Godard casts ex-boxer Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg as a petty crook and his girlfriend. The shoot takes place on the hoof with only the bare bones of a script. Yet Godard conjures up magic, using handheld cameras, jump cuts and overlapping dialogue to create an enduring classic. The French New Wave has arrived.
Linklater’s films include Blue Moon, his biopic about renowned musical lyricist Lorenz Hart, as well as Boyhood and the Before trilogy.
‘The ingenuity of Breathless was miraculous, and Linklater mirrors that ingenuity in the spontaneous bravura with which he re-creates it.’ - Owen Gleiberman, Variety
