Nouvelle Vague
12A
Why watch?
“Beyond the blow by blow account of the making of a masterpiece, part of the joy in Nouvelle Vague is the way it trips through the community of French filmmaking of the period out of which Godard emerged. Specifically the feeling of creativity and freedom of thought unleashed in a great crescendo that 60 years old still stands as one of the most exciting periods in film history.”
Wendy Cook,
Head of Cinema
Cinephilia exudes from every frame of this delightful black-and-white homage to Jean-Luc Godard's feature debut.
From Godard’s collaboration with Truffaut and Chabrol on the script to the chaotic shoot that drew exasperation from Jean Seberg and producer Georges de Beauregard, an impeccable cast and Linklater’s mastery over the medium capture the revolutionary alchemy that forever changed cinema.
