Podcasts about French New Wave

An ode to a classic of French New Wave cinema – Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (A Bout de Souffle) – Nouvelle Vague is more than a heady film nerd love fest. It's a Linklater movie, which means it's a hangout film; it's just that the gang we're hanging with happens to be reinventing modern cinema, whether they know it or not. We've got writer, actor, and teacher Tarik R. Davis (The Amber Ruffin Show) with us to talk about the petite charms of this Cannes premiere. Then we pitch our own making-of hangout movies!What's GoodAlonso - “Trans Images on Film” on TCM (w/Caden Mark Gardner and Willow Catelyn Maclay)Drea - Library Tool CheckoutTarik - a really good rehearsalKevin - Conduct Your Own Orchestra (Golden Records)ITIDICFilmmakers Meet the Pope (text of the pope's full address is here)D&D: Honor Among Thieves Team Working on new Star Trek MovieStaff PicksAlonso - Faces PlacesDrea - Rental FamilyTarik - Brother JohnKevin - For Your Consideration Follow us on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, or LetterboxdWithKevin AveryDrea ClarkAlonso DuraldeProduced by Marissa FlaxbartSr. Producer Laura Swisher

Zoey Deutch returns to Skip Intro to talk about her latest transformation in Nouvelle Vague as American actress Jean Seberg. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Richard Linklater — and a love letter to the French New Wave classic Breathless — Nouvelle Vague wasn't the first time that Linklater and Deutch shared a film set. Deutch shares how Linklater compares rehearsals to athletics, starting exciting new chapters in her personal life, hilarious irrational fears, and the deep love she has for her sister, Maddie. Video episodes are also available on the Still Watching Netflix YouTube Channel. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

The Megan-Dave dynamic duo returns with two new movies, Edgar Wright's THE RUNNING MAN (2:15) and Richard Linklater's NOUVELLE VAGUE (25:41). Dave didn't see THE RUNNING MAN but he was able to fill Megan in on the difference between Stephen King's novel and the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film. But how did Megan like Wright's version? Eh...she didn't love it. (But she did love Colman Domingo, so there's that.) As for NOUVELLE VAGUE, Megan and Dave return to the age-old question: Who is this movie for? Aside from a Linklater fan or someone steeped in French New Wave cinema, does anyone really want to see a cutesy black and white take on the making of Jean-Luc Godard's BREATHLESS? Over on Patreon, we discuss the 1991 romantic drama MISSISSIPPI MASALA, which was directed by New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's mother, Mira Nair.

Richard Linklater returns to the Filmmaker Toolkit to discuss his loving recreation of the French New Wave. Linklater shares why the movies of that period meant so much to his filmmaking journey, and reflects on how much easier they had it making 'Breathless' than 'Nouvelle Vague' today.

"The Running Man" is a remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 dystopian action thriller based on a Stephen King book. Oddly enough, it was set in 2025. This time out, Glen Powell plays a man desperate for money for his family, who agrees to appear in a TV reality game show where he attempts to outrun a team of murderous bounty hunters to win a billion dollars. Director Edgar Wright, who made "Baby Driver" and "Shaun of the Dead," knows his way around action and comedy and delivers on both counts. However, this time he just doesn't know when to quit. He's guilty of overkill. The biggest problem with "The Running Man" is the running time. "Now You See Me: Now You Don't" is the third installment in the comedy heist action series about an ensemble of magicians who pull off bank jobs using their considerable skills at illusion. Jesse Eisneberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher team up once again, this time attempting to steal the world's largest diamond from a villainous crime organization led by Rosamund Pike. It's a reasonably entertaining installment, but the tricks are very familiar. What's missing from "Now You See Me: Now You Don't" is magic. If you haven't seen Jean-Luc Godard's classic 1960 French New Wave film "Breathless," then Richard Linklater's "Nouvelle Vague" probably won't have much meaning for you. This Netflix offering is a painstaking recreation of the making of "Breathless," which popularized a new style of filmmaking and made international stars of Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg. Nerd alert!! It's a loving homage to avant garde movie making.

For this week's third podcast review, Sara Clements, Dan Bayer, and Aaron Isenstein join me to review and discuss the latest film from Richard Linklater (and his second this year), "Nouvelle Vague," starring Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, and Aubry Dullin. Marbeck plays Jean-Luc Godard as he shoots his feature debut film, "Breathless," one of the first feature films of the French New Wave in 1959, alongside American actress Jean Seberg (Deutch) and French star Jean-Paul Belmondo (Dullin). The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its witty screenplay, Linklater's direction, and uncanny performances from its principals (and many, many recognizable supporting characters). What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss those elements, its place in Linklater's filmography, the craftsmanship, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

⭐Kiss Me Deadly (1955) - The MacGuffin That Changed Film Noir ⭐

Filmmaker Richard Linklater doesn't speak French, but that didn't stop him from directing a movie that's almost entirely in French. ‘Nouvelle Vague' focuses on the beginning of the New Wave of cinema, specifically Jean-Luc Godard and his landmark 1960 movie ‘Breathless.' "I know that sounds insane," Linklater says, "but me not having the language wasn't even in my top 10 concerns about if I could pull off the movie." Linklater spoke with Terry Gross about the impact of the French New Wave, and his other new film, ‘Blue Moon.' It's about Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, the former creative partner of Richard Rodgers.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews the novel Heart the Lover by Lily King. Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

On the Saturday November 1, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet Richard Linklater. A pioneer of independent cinema, he rose to prominence with “Slacker,” a low-budget cult classic that captured the aimless spirit of Gen X. His breakthrough, “Dazed and Confused,” became a defining portrait of 1970s youth culture. Linklater’s diverse filmography includes the romantic trilogy “Before Sunrise,” “Before Sunset,” and “Before Midnight,” the groundbreaking coming-of-age epic “Boyhood,” shot over 12 years, and the experimental “Waking Life.” His new film, “Nouvelle Vague,” delves into the French New Wave era, reflecting his deep cinematic influences. It's a love letter to Jean-Luc Godard and the French New Wave, but also to storytelling and imagination. A recreation of the events surrounding the making of Godard's 1960 feature debut “Breathless,” it stylishly captures the style and playfulness of the French New Wave, but more importantly, the spirit of change that fueled the movement that changed cinema. Then, we meet Natalie MacMaster. Her masterful Celtic fiddling and electrifying performances have made her the winner of many music awards, she’s a Grammy nominee, and recipient of the Order of Canada. She has collaborated with a host of musical legends including the Boston Pops, The Chieftains, Alison Krauss, and Yo-Yo Ma. In her new book “I Have a Love Story,” Natalie shares the remarkable journey from her humble roots on Cape Breton Island to the world's most renowned stages. She opens up about her relationship with fellow fiddler and husband Donnell Leahy, and offers an intimate look at the balance of career and motherhood, navigating the triumphs and challenges of raising seven children. Then, Linden MacIntrye stops by to chat about his book "An Accidental Villain: A Soldier's Tale of War, Deceit and Exile."

All treats and no tricks for you in this packed Halloween edition of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got: NOUVELLE VAGUE: Richard Linklater recreates the making of the French New Wave classic "Breathless" with a movie that looks like it could have come out in 1960, as well. You don't need to know anything about Jean-Luc Godard, or Jean Seberg, or Jean-Paul Belmondo to enjoy this affectionate and humorous homage, but there are Easter eggs galore if you do. In theaters before streaming on Netflix Nov 14. SHELBY OAKS (With William Bibbiani): Our good friend Bibbs joins in on a review of this horror debut from longtime YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann. It follows a woman investigating the disappearance of her sister, who was a paranormal investigator, in a small Ohio town. In theaters. HEDDA: Tessa Thompson is impossibly charismatic in this bold reimagining of the classic Henrik Ibsen play "Hedda Gabler." Nia DaCosta's adaptation is queer and multiracial in ways that are reminiscent of "Bridgerton." The cinematography and production design are gorgeous, but see it for the clothes alone. Streaming on Prime Video. IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT: This will end up being a major contender in the awards conversation. Iranian master Jafar Panahi tells the story of several disparate people who come together to abduct and confront the man they believe was their torturer in prison. It's tense and beautifully acted, with an unexpected streak of absurd humor. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE!: Our travels have kept us from doing our movie news livestream for the past couple weeks, so it was nice to be together again. Among the topics we discussed were the upcoming "Stranger Things" finale, "Sinners" and "K-Pop Demon Hunters" back in theaters, Osgood Perkins Day, and Francis Ford Coppola auctioning off his watch collection. We're gone next week but back Nov. 14. Thanks for being here! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/  

Mr. Scorsese is “Marty” to his friends and “Legend” to admirers and imitators.  But he's also still that kid, the "minuscule asthmatic”--as lovingly described by his ex-wife, Isabella Rossellini--who fervently loved both the movies he watched in Times Square as well as the characters that populated the Little Italy of his youth.  The results were "Mean Streets", "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", and "Goodfellas".     But as Rebecca Miller (“Personal Velocity”, “Maggie's Plan”, “Arthur Miller: Writer”) compellingly shows, Scorsese's triumph was not inevitable, nor is it simply the inevitable result of personal history yoked to directorial will. For while Scorsese has an anthropologist's eye, his films are not documentaries (except for the documentaries, of course!)  Rather, they are the product of his own prodigious preparation combined with a willingness to trust his actors (notably, DiNero and DiCaprio) to improvise–and, in the end, phenomenal editing shaped by deep learning from the French New Wave as well as his decades-long professional relationship with Thelma Schoonmaker.  While his films are often grounded in fully formed literary works, he makes of them what director Ari Aster calls “total cinema”.  And while the visuals putatively reign, the music often seems to take the lead, almost directing the camera's movements.  And in the end, in complicating the work of what may seem to be one of our most personal filmmakers, Miller suggests that Scorsese's wider purpose is to chronicle “the American project.”    You can watch the 5-part series “Mr. Scorcese” on Apple+   Follow: @rebeccamillerstoryteller on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X/twitter     The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

How do you step into a moment in cinematic and pop culture history?We'll admit we've been dark for a minute...and it hasn't been any artistic reason just straight up burn out....which means it was going to take something special to get us back in the saddle....and that saddle is 'Nouvelle Vague'.'Nouvelle Vague' is the story of a young Jean-Luc Godard who after his days as a critic writing for Cahiers du Cinema decides that the new form of film criticism will be to actually make a film himself.  He gets a low budget feature funded and with the help of Francois Truffaut develops a treatment about a young gangster couple along with his band of misfit toys and hence, 'Breathless' is born and cinematic history is made.Only someone like Richard Linklater could make a film about one of the more landmark cinematic moments of our time in the chaotic style that Godard himself made 'Breathless' and it makes for one of the most unique and unforgettable cinematic experiences of the year.We had the chance to talk with the young man who in his very first leading role stepped into the shoes of the iconic Jean Luc Godard to give us one of the more unique and original performances of the year.  In chatting with Guillaume Marbeck we got a little insight into the process that got him on this journey and what a celebration of cinema something like 'Nouvelle Vague' truly is.'Nouvelle Vague' is in select theatres now,

My guest, writer, director, and actor Guillaume Campanacci made a film, THE SILENT SINNER (2025), for $2000 and then released it at his favorite film festival, the Oldenburg Film Festival. That topic alone would make for a great podcast. But then add in his rich sense of humor and ability to critique everything -- including himself -- and you've got an all-time episode.It'll help if you read this Hollywood Reporter article before listening. In this episode, Guillaume and I talk about:What does he mean when he says he wants to “fuck with the audience”;How he got started in filmmaking;If most actors want to direct;How he honored French New Wave in his debut feature, WHENEVER I'M ALONE WITH YOU (2023);Why he thinks Oldenburg is the best film festival in the world and what can other film festivals take away from it;The state of independent filmmaking in France;What's next for him;What to expect when you watch THE SILENT SINNER;He starred in the film with his real-life partner. What is his advice on doing that?;Distributing such a unique film — he loves Filmhub;His advice for filmmakers just starting out. Guillaume's Indie Film Highlights: SUMMER HIT MACHINE (2025) dir. by Jérôme Vandewattyne; HARAKIRI, I MISS YOU (2025) dir. by Alejandro Castro AriasMemorable Quotes:“It was very selfish to make this one because I made it for nothing. So I could do whatever I want.”“I started as a French man.”“I think Sundance used to be like that back in the day, and now it's this big machine like an independent film is a $25 million film with Ben Affleck. No, it's not independent film.”“If you're a festival and the only thing you do is take films from other festivals, are you really a festival?”“I don't think there is really independent filmmaking in France.”“We spoke about French New Wave before and it's gone because these films would not get made today.”“Right now, I'm going to be writing the miniseries, and I love it. It's just me with my notepad and the universe of possibilities that's around me.”Links:Follow Guillaume On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

Maxine Chernoff and Paul Hoover talk with Roxi Power in this second part of our interview, revealing their mutual love of film and poetry inspired by it. From Chernoff's surreal meditations on François Truffaut's French New Wave film, Jules et Jim, toHoover's weaving of Wim Wenders' Lisbon Story into his dreamlike language, we look through the lenses of other artforms—including the deep and unsettling Brazilian musical genre, Fado—to experience the strange and gorgeous interior worlds of these prolific and beloved Bay Area poets. Listen to Part 1 of our interview from 8-9-25 here. Maxine Chernoff is professor emeritus of creative writing at San Francisco State University. She is the author of 19 books of poetry and six of fiction, including recent collections from MadHat Press:  Light and Clay: New and Selected Poems (2023)and Under the Music: Collected Prose Poems (2019).  Peter Johnson called her the most important prose poet of her generation. She is a recipient of a 2013 National Endowment for the Arts in Poetry and, along with Paul Hoover, the 2009 PEN Translation Award for their translation of The Selected Poems of Friedrich Hölderlin. In 2016 she was a visiting writer at the American Academy in Rome. A former editor of New American Writing, she lives in Mill Valley. Paul Hoover is the author of over a dozen collections of poetry; his most recent book of poetry is O, and Green: New and Selected Poems (MadHat Press, 2021). He has also published a collection of essays and a novel, and translated or co-translated a few books, including Black Dog, Black Night: Contemporary Vietnamese Poetry.  Founding and current Editor of the literary annual, New American Writing–now published by MadHat Press–and two editions of the indispensable Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology, Hoover teaches at San Francisco State University.  He's also won an NEA and numerous awards, including the Carl Sandberg Award in poetry which Chernoff has also won.  

Catching Up with Freya: Tours, New Music, and Poetry with a TwistIn this episode of My Music, we welcome back the talented Freya Beer who has been busy creating new music and lyrics since her last visit. Join us as she discusses her latest tours, including performing poetry alongside Dr. John Cooper Clark, her creative process, and the importance of maintaining artistic authenticity. Freya also reveals insights about her new song, 'Bonsoir' inspired by French New Wave films and touches on potential future collaborations. Stay tuned for a fascinating conversation about the intersection of music and poetry.

As we close out #SEXtember 3: Ménage a Trois we were not expecting this kind of surprise. When Erica chose 1967's THE OLDEST PROFESSION based on the New World Video artwork, she had no idea we were about to watch an European-made sex comedy anthology! And when things get weird with New World movies, there's one person we have to call: comedian and writer Ali Davis, who first joined us for such New World odds and ends classics as UP FROM THE DEPTHS and THE FUNNY FARM! We put her patience to the test with this one! Released in the U.S. and Canada by THE BLOC producer Jack H. Harris, this was made by six different directors: Claude Autant-Lara, Mauro Bolognini, Philippe de Broca, Michael Pfleghar, Franco Indovina, and French New Wave auteur Jean-Luc Godard. With all these European directors, do we do accents? Oh, you bet we do! Lots of them! We also try to make sense of the film, which tries to tell stories about prostitution across many different eras, from prehistoric times to the future! It's one sexy ride through time! Well, it is a ride, anyway! The film is aided by a terrific cast, including Jeanne Moreau and Raquel Welch, who got her acting start in her native San Diego, the same place where hosts Marc and Ryan are from! Is there a family connection? Listen and find out! For all the shows in Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network, head here: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/.

Matt and Corbin, recording from the Portland Convention Center, talk about "Celine and Julie go Boating," a movie about two friends who are looking to have a good time and also maybe save a girl from a cycling ghost house deep in the heart of Paris, France. Topics: friendship, theater, improv, The French New Wave, and other stuff.  I liked this essay that discusses the movie. Corbin recc. Matt recc. Next week's episode is about Harvest (2024), which is available on MUBI if you're into that sort of thing.

As always there are spoilers ahead!   A quick note that I shall be at the London Film Festival on October the 16th giving a whistlestop tour of sci-fi cinema. It is a free event but you have to reserve tickets so if you happen to be in London and wanted to attend here is the information.   Translation for the beginning of the podcast: “Later, he knew he had seen a man die.

A 28-minute art film mostly made of still images that went on to inspire many films as well as the 1995 12 Monkeys. The filmmaker, Chris Marker was an elusive French multimedia journalist, artist, writer, filmmaker, photographer who very rarely did interviews. He was part of the Left Bank group in Paris which was part of the larger French New Wave movement.   My amazing science fiction authorities today are Lisa Yaszek who is Regents' Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech and has written/edited multiple books on science fiction and Mark Bould who is a professor of Film and Literature at the University of West England, Bristol. He has also written/edited numerous books on science fiction.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:15 The French New Wave 08:50 The New Wave of science fiction literature 13:00 The New Wave science fiction films 17:53 Vertigo's influence 21:10 Eros and Thanatos: Love and death (and time loops) 23:55 A very different science fiction film: Un photo-roman, sound and reliable narrators 32:00 The darker future: gritty retrofuturism and echoes of WWII 36:59 What is real?

Jean Seberg was a French New Wave actress and pixie cut icon. She was also an active supporter of the Black Panthers Party. As her career floundered and rumors hurt her reputation with the public, Jean became convinced the FBI was surveilling and sabotaging her because of her political activity. At the time everyone thought she was paranoid, but the truth is much darker. This episode was first published on 06/29/2019. It has been slightly edited from the original version.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with legendary French New Wave filmmaker and critic Luc Moullet and his creative and life partner Antonietta Pizzorno as they discuss the 1976 feature, Anatomy of a Relationship, with FLC programmer Dan Sullivan. This event took place as part of our recently concluded retrospective Luc Moullet: Anarchy in the Alps. Luc Moullet's follow-up to the far-out excursions of The Smugglers and A Girl Is a Gun grounds itself in the shared everyday life of a couple. Moullet himself plays a filmmaker who struggles to earn a living practicing his vocation; his professional frustrations are matched by his apparent inability to please his intellectual wife (Christine Hébert), sexually or otherwise.

Remakes continue to proliferate on our screens. Over the last few months, we've had live action remakes in cinemas of classic animations Snow White, Lilo And Stitch, and How To Train Your Dragon, along with legacy reboots of the horror hit I Know What You Did Last Summer and DC's Superman, and - coming soon - a new spin on the 1980s comedy The Naked Gun.So is this all just evidence of a dearth of creativity in Hollywood? Or are there some artistically valid reasons to re-make existing films? And can a remake ever be better than the original? Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode delve into the past, present and future of the remake. Mark speaks to critic Anne Billson about the remakes she considers worthy of our attention, from Brian De Palma's Scarface to John Carpenter's The Thing. And he also talks with Jim McBride who, in 1983, directed Breathless - a remake of Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave classic A Bout de Souffle, which Mark has long considered superior to the original.Ellen talks to TV critic Roxana Hadadi about what television can bring to the remake party - and about the TV series that managed to improve on their source material. And Ellen also speaks to Noah Hawley, showrunner of the multi-Emmy winning Fargo and upcoming Alien: Earth TV series, about the creative possibilities of TV reboots.

Welcome to the fourth episode of our new and ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.On this episode of Fascism On Film, the Holmes Brothers discuss the Jean-Luc Godard film Le Petit Soldat. After helping start the French New Wave with his influential film Breathless (À bout de souffle), Godard was set to make this his second film in 1960. But due to censorship and its provocative look at the French-Algerian War plus scenes of torture, it was not released in cinemas until 1963. The film is set in Geneva, Switzerland and it has the Algerian War happening in the background. Actress Anna Karina worked with Jean-Luc Godard for the first time on this project. They had a bit of tumultuous relationship and were together for four years. The two of them made a bunch of films together. Pierrot Le Fou being their most memorable project amongst film fans and critics.

Buy tickets here!We've teased this for YEARS! And it's finally here. The DC Trio break the ice by introducing notorious Korean director Hong Sang-soo to the canon by talking about a 2006 deep cut, Woman on the Beach. We talk about the pairing with Rohmer's The Green Ray (our ep. 24), discuss why this feels odd in Hong's filmography, and debate on what shape this movie looks like.

Travis and Annie continue to see the 60's cinema they've shared from slightly different lenses. This one is a supposedly groundbreaking French New Wave classic that features an insufferable protagonist, jump cuts galore, and a story that reveals more on a rewatch than a first time viewing. Listen in and let us know whether Annie, in fact, has a point.

In this episode, we review our 9th-ranked film for 1965, “Pierrot le Fou,” a French New Wave film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina, and we touch on many of Godard's other '60s films as well. Support this project on Patreon!

After more than 12 years of doing this podcast, it was high time for us to review something by French director Jean-Pierre Melville. Le Samourai was his (and his star, Alain Delon's) homage to '40s Hollywood noir. This crime classic is about Delon's passive hitman, who's either too cool for school...or just doesn't care. In this one-Ryan show, the talk gets into  relating to Delon's loner mindset and solo lifestyle, although not so much his sparse apartment, his constant smoking or his work as a contract killer. Or having a chirpie bird for a roommate. The ending is puzzling...but it might be more understandable when you remember the code of an actual samurai. So put on your white gloves, pull out your heater and prepare for episode #668 of Have You Ever Seen. Melville's film didn't predate the French New Wave, but he himself did. He, Godard, Truffaut, all of 'em could no doubt have been even more prolific back in those days if they had Sparkplug Coffee.

Welcome to another Trilogies episode where Anders & Adam Holmes move (briefly) away from a Galaxy, Far, Far, Away to war torn Italy. This episode we look at Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy. Roberto Rossellini (father of Isabella Rossellini, plus ex-father in law to Martin Scorsese) was one of the most prominent directors of Italian Neo-Realist Cinema. A film movement where its stories focused mainly on the poor and working class. Films about everyday life, poverty and oppression. Films shot on location and used primarily non-classically trained actors. Actors basically picked off the street essentially. The Bicycle Thieves is a perfect example of Italian Neo-Realism. The movement influenced French New Wave for example. Along with Rossellini, other Italian filmmakers like Vittorio De Sica and Luchino Visconti popularised this very influential film movement. Rossellini's Neo-Realist War Trilogy started with Rome, Open City (1945), Paisan (1946) and concluded with Germany Year Zero (1948). Some of the first post-war films made in Italy and films that helped shape Italian Neo-Realism. Rome, Open City has a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is part of the Vatican's Important Films list. It's listed under the category Values. We hope you like this episode and stay tuned for more Trilogies episode. We will be putting a pause on our Trilogies series and moving onto another series of episodes we have in the works: Fascism On Film. The first episode of that series will be on Andor & Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Stay tuned for that and for more episodes of The Movies And Me.

This month we are (finally!) exploring some of the works of the great Agnès Varda, one of the pioneers of the French New Wave. First up, we're starting with one of her most widely seen: Cléo from 5 to 7. Corinne Marchand stars as the titular Cléo, a young singer waiting for important medical results. Over the course of 90 minutes, Cléo tries to distract herself from the agonizing wait, first among friends, and then on a winding route through Paris. The film screened at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival, currently ranks at 14 on Sight and Sound's list of greatest films of all time (only two spots behind The Godfather, just sayin'), and is part of the Criterion Collection.

This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, Foreign Film Month goes full Nouvelle Vague with Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. We're talking cigarette-smoking rebels, stolen cars, fourth-wall breaks, and the film that redefined cool in cinema.Is Michel a tragic anti-hero or just an impulsive jerk? Did Godard invent modern editing, or just throw the rulebook out the window for fun? We dive into it all—style, substance, and that unforgettable final scene.Light up (metaphorically), lean back, and get a little reckless with us.

Tom Luddy was a quiet titan of cinema. He presided over the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley for some 10 years, co-founded and directed The Telluride Film Festival for nearly 50 years, produced some 14 movies, match-made dozens of international love affairs, and foraged for the most beautiful, political, important, risky films and made sure there was a place for them to be seen in the world. And that the people making this powerful work were known and knew each other. Tom Luddy with his photographic memory, his infinite rolodex, his encyclopedic knowledge of global cinema and his catalytic ability to connect people, caused the most unusual of collaborations to come to be. Tom championed the French New Wave, the Czech New Wave, Brazilian cinema novo, dissident Soviet cinema, directors Francis Coppola, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Agnes Varda, Les Blank, Paul Schrader, Agnieszka Holland, Barry Jenkins, Laurie Anderson and countless others.Tom passed away on February 13, 2023. There's a giant hole in the screen without him here. But his DNA is in the hundreds of filmmakers, musicians, writers and activists he nurtured and inspired.The Tom Luddy Connection: The Man, The Movies, The Rolodex was produced by Evan Jacoby and The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva) in collaboration with Brandi Howell and Nathan Dalton. Mixed by Jim McKee.

Jeanne Moreau (1928-2017) was a leading French actress of French New Wave cinema, as well as a singer, screenwriter, director, and socialite. Orson Welles once called her “the greatest actress in the world.” She often played complex, controversial female characters. She was also a signatory of the famous French Manifesto of the 343 (1971) which publicly announced that she had obtained an illegal abortion.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, and Vanessa Handy.
