Alain Delon stars in what may be the last truly great theatrical feature by Jean-Luc Godard to date. Go to Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out 01/26/2006
Godard's opening salvo of the '90s sustains an elegiac note to unexpectedly potent effect. Go to Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times 08/30/2004

A good title rather badly used for Jean-Luc Godard's featherweight new film. Go to Full Review Diane Carson AWFJ.org Nov 29
With its commitment to authenticity from the visual look to costumes and art direction, with the choice of a film memorable to this day, Linklater’s "Nouvelle Vague" offers a wonderful immersion in film history in a humorous and illuminating production.

4/4
Nouvelle Vague may be Godard's most complex and layered film, but attempting to unlock its secrets makes it one of his most rewarding. Go to Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 07/22/2003
Delon, patently no longer his earlier vision of beauty, looks somewhat bemused -- as do emerging audiences. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

John D Nov 2 Really smart, clever - like Godard himself. A movie made by a movie lover for movie lovers See more 09/16/2009 vague kung vague... you have to be in one of those introspective moods to fully grasp this film... See more 06/14/2008 impossible de juger ce films sans faire des recherches sur le contexte historique et artistique de ce film. A premiere vue : une veritable masturbation intellectuelle. J'espere me tromper See more 11/20/2007 Good. Excellent dialogues. See more 09/22/2007 A highly unusual work, a stark contrast with Numero Deux, very much more philosophical, and less focused on political dialectic. It's fascinating to see quotes and anecdotes thrown aroundm on sexuality and on love itself. Difficult to understand, but fascinating all the same. See more 06/12/2007 This isn't the only Godard film for which I suspect I'm going to have to watch it again to really appreciate it. See more Read all reviews
