Cannes: Nouvelle Vague Film Review — Giddy Homage to Godard the Great Disrupter
- Richard Linklater premiered “Nouvelle Vague,” a black-and-white film depicting the creation of Jean-Luc Godard's “Breathless,” during the Cannes Film Festival weekend.
- Linklater and his collaborators, cinephiles from Austin, Texas, developed the project over thirteen years to celebrate the French New Wave and its independent spirit.
- The film, shot in French and featuring Aubry Dullin as Belmondo and Zoey Deutch as Seberg, depicts Godard's doubts and insistence on spontaneity during filming.
- “Nouvelle Vague,” which competed for the Palme d'Or, received one of the festival’s longest ovations and was celebrated as a charming homage to cinema. However, Linklater remarked that some might resent the fact that the film was made by an American director.
- Linklater stated making this film felt like erasing his own history and bringing him back to his early filmmaking days, suggesting a deep personal and artistic significance.
