Nouvelle Vague
Nouvelle Vague tells the story of the making of the film À bout de souffle (Breathless, 1960) by Jean-Luc Godard, an important moment in the history of the French New Wave movement which revolutionized cinematic storytelling. The film takes us to late 1950s Paris, where an ambitious Godard tries to convince producers to finance his feature-length debut and works with young talent including Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo—what seems like mere filmmaking turns into an exploration of the spirit of creativity, friendship, and visual innovation; Can the revolutionary spirit of the Nouvelle Vague still be felt through a modern lens and what does it mean for contemporary cinema?
