After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, young Godard decides making films is the best film criticism. He gets Beauregard to fund a low-budget feature, creating a treatment with Truffaut about a gangster couple.

From Director Richard Linklater, NOUVELLE VAGUE is the story of Jean-Luc Godard making “Breathless”. 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.

“The film reminds you that the real salvation of cinema will always come from those who understand that making a movie should be a magic trick good enough to fool the magician himself into believing it.” ~Owen Gleiberman, Variety

“This affectionate homage to a slice of urban French cool that has rarely been equalled is also a nostalgic tribute to a time and place of extraordinary creative ferment and cinematic sex appeal.” ~Lee Marshall, Screen Daily

“It’s a cinephile’s film through and through…” ~Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
