t W Nov 13 Lots of fun, breezy. Wished there was a tad bit more drama though. See more Carlos F Nov 8 Beautiful depiction of 1960’s Paris, the interesting and determined personalities in the world of film, and their effect on society at a time when people were more intelectually engaged, more curious, more aware, less self-centered in the toxic way we are today… Also, I loved getting a window into the production of Godard’s “Breathless” and his artistic influences at the time Make sure you are well rested and relaxed, because the subtitles are easy to read and properly timed, but there is so much dialogue in French, that often you won’t be able to finish reading one line before the next one comes… don’t let that frustrate you, because the characters are so rich and the situations so endearing that you’re still able to follow the plot and thoroughly enjoy the movie See more Ken D @Wayfarer 1d A movie for cinephiles, and especially French ones. If you know of and appreciate the likes of Truffaut, Chabrol and Rossellini, you’ll likely enjoy it. If not, maybe not so much. Nouvelle Vague is the story of how Jean Luc Goddard made his classic work "Breathless." The aforementioned directors, and several others, are characters in the movie. They are collaborators, mentors and detractors. Godard is portrayed as something of a mad genius who defies all conventional norms. With little money, time or seemingly much planning or forethought, he produced his masterpiece. This is a work of cinematic historical fiction. The highlight for me was the performances of Zoey Deutch and Aubrey Dullin, cast as Breathless co-stars Jean Seburg and Jean Paul Belmondo, respectively. Apparently someone had told Belmondo that if he took on the role in Breathless he’d never work again. He went on to have a career that lasted 50 years. Wonder if anybody said that to Dullin.

Godard (played brilliantly by Guillaume Marbeck) runs through Paris rewriting scenes on the spot, dodging producers, and reinventing cinema without even realizing it. Even if you’re not deeply familiar with the French New Wave, this film works perfectly. It’s about freedom, instinct, and the beauty of not knowing what you’re doing until it’s done. A fascinating, chaotic, and deeply affectionate portrait of artistic rebellion. See more Vincent S. @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Nov 25 A very fun, fascinating, light and strikingly beautiful looking peek behind a legendary classic movie in pristine black and white cinematography by David Chambille. I learned a lot and had a big smile on my face throughout the entire movie. With this and “Blue Moon” Richard Linklater is having a very great year peeking behind the scenes of artistic magic. It made me want to see the original Breathless again. See more Read all reviews
