A hitchiker (Alain Delon) is taken in by a wealthy industrialist (Domiziana Giordano).

Chicago Reader

Alain Delon stars in what may be the last truly great theatrical feature by Jean-Luc Godard to date.

Time Out

Godard's opening salvo of the '90s sustains an elegiac note to unexpectedly potent effect.

A good title rather badly used for Jean-Luc Godard's featherweight new film.

Rated: 2/5

Cinematic Reflections

Nouvelle Vague may be Godard's most complex and layered film, but attempting to unlock its secrets makes it one of his most rewarding.

Rated: 4/4

Delon, patently no longer his earlier vision of beauty, looks somewhat bemused -- as do emerging audiences.

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

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.

This isn't the only Godard film for which I suspect I'm going to have to watch it again to really appreciate it.
