NOUVELLE VAGUE



Nouvelle Vague (2025) directed by Richard Linklater. This is a film biopic of the making of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960). It's also a fun and feel-good homage to Godard and his fellow New Wave filmmakers that is shot in black and white. I don't know how true it is to the actual shoot, but I'll take it on faith because it feels meticulously researched, and it matches what I know from my many viewings of New Wave films, my film studies in college, and my collection of film books.

Bonus: The Wife wants to see Breathless now!

Streaming on Netflix.
