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.

Who would be so foolish as to mention Jean-Luc Godard and Ed Wood in the same sentence? Well, we just did--and Richard Linklater drew a (perhaps unintentional) parallel between the two polar-opposite filmmakers in his latest movie, Nouvelle Vague!On today's IndieSeen, Ian and Sujewa welcome back Jeff York to review one of the year's very best films: a breezy, loving, fictionalized look at the filming of Godard's groundbreaking French crime/romance, Breathless. Guillaume Marbeck stars as a young Godard, who is the last of his clique of film critic colleagues to try his hand at actually making a movie.He recruits Algerian soldier-turned-actor Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dullin) and up-and-coming American acting sensation Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) to star as doomed lovers on the run. During his frantic 20-day shoot, Godard must dodge a nervous producer, a suspicious cast and crew, and a complete lack of filming permits in order to finish a work that would help redefine his beloved medium (jump-cuts, anyone?).In this spoilerific love letter to Nouvelle Vague (which translates to "French Wave"), the guys look at how Linklater (Dazed and Confused, the Before Trilogy) captures a time, place, and, most importantly, burgeoning creative spirit. They also stray far afield into a debate about the effectiveness of title portraits--and whether or not they derail this movie!Whether you're a devoted cineaste and fan of the French Wave--or if you think "Jean-Luc Godard" was that bald guy from Star Trek, Nouvelle Vague is an open invitation to explore colorful characters, a passion for filmmaking, and the calling to do something creative--no matter how much (or how little) time, talent, and experience one has.

Bringing our show back to its very first episode, we take a look at Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague (2025), a movie about the making of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960). Spoiler Alert: he makes Breathless by the end. We also do quite a bit of dilly-dallying to start off the show, so if you just want our thoughts about the film skip to 53 minutes. But everything before that is true art, the essence of cinema.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

This week we're discussing Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague which follows the unconventional making of Jean-Luc Godard's first feature, Breathless.

"Nouvelle Vague" is a black and white comedy-drama film directed by Richard Linklater starring Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo. It follows the shooting of "Breathless," one of the first feature films of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema, in 1959. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its casting, performances, writing, and direction from Linklater, who was working in the French language for the first time in his career. Linklater, Marbeck, Deutch, and Dullin were all kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release and will be available to stream on Netflix on November 14th. Thank you, and enjoy!

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.

"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.

NOUVELLE VAGUE MOVIE REVIEW In 1959, film critic Jean-Luc Godard set out to direct his first feature, “À bout de souffle” or Breathless as it is known in English.

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.

Actor Guillaume Marbeck plays Jean-Luc Godard in Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague, so he has a unique perspective on Godard's revolutionary first feature Breathless – which, it just so happens, Nouvelle Vague is all about. Your genial host Norm Wilner cannot thank Winnie Wong enough for coming up with this concept.

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/

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,

Richard Linklater is one of the most admired directors working today, and yet moviegoers may admire him for very different things. There are early comedies such as “Slacker” and “Dazed and Confused”; there's the romance trilogy that started with “Before Sunrise,” starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy; and the crowd-pleasers like “School of Rock” and “Hit Man.” Linklater's “Boyhood,” a coming-of-age story shot in the course of twelve years as its protagonist grew from child to young adult, is almost without precedent. This month, Linklater has two new movies releasing almost simultaneously, both dramatizing historical moments in the lives of creative geniuses. In “Blue Moon,” Hawke plays the Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart at the moment his career is being eclipsed by a rival, Oscar Hammerstein II. “My tagline for this movie, that they're not going to use on any posters, but it's my tagline: ‘Forgotten, but not gone,' ” Linklater tells our film critic Justin Chang. “It's so heartbreaking . . . to do a film about the end of someone's career.” In “Nouvelle Vague,” which is almost entirely in French, Linklater depicts the unconventional filming of Jean-Luc Godard's “Breathless,” his triumphant 1959 début. “The most important film,” Linklater says, “is the one you make in your head.” Justin Chang's article about Richard Linklater was published on September 27, 2025.

durée : 00:14:17 - Les Midis de Culture - par : Marie Labory - Avec "Nouvelle Vague", Richard Linklater signe un hommage vibrant et sensible au cinéma à l'aube d'une révolution cinématographique. En noir et blanc, tourné en français, le film replonge dans le Paris de 1959 pour raconter les coulisses du tournage d'"À bout de Souffle" de Jean-Luc Godard. - réalisation : Laurence Malonda - invités : Adrien Dénouette Critique de cinéma et enseignant; Raphaëlle Pireyre Critique de cinéma, elle publie régulièrement des articles sur le site AOC

Director Richard Linklater has paid tribute to the groundbreaking moment in French cinema when jump cuts, cigarette smoke and rebellious youth were rendered in beautiful black and white celluloid. Manon Kerjean tells us why "Nouvelle Vague", his affectionate tribute to French film history, is a treat for cinephiles. We also discuss the social drama "Météors", which takes viewers deep into rural France for a bromance that deals with coming-of-age struggles with humour. Meanwhile, Arnaud Desplechin returns with a cerebral, emotionally dense story of music and mystery, as François Civil and Charlotte Rampling star in "Two Pianos". Plus we check out a charming animated rendition of the life of French literary giant Marcel Pagnol, whose southern stories have delighted generations of schoolchildren.

Welcome to the daily 63rd New York Film Festival podcast. Today we're featuring two conversations with Richard Linklater and the teams of his two NYFF selections. First, NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim moderates a conversation with Linklater and Blue Moon's screenwriter Robert Kaplow, as well asd its stars Ethan Hawke, Bobby Cannavale, and Andrew Scott, followed by a conversation with Linklater and Nouvelle Vague's Zoey Deutch, Guillaume Marbeck, Aubry Dullin, and Michèle Pétin, moderated by NYFF programmer Florence Almozini. Blue Moon is a portrait of one crucial night in the melancholy life of legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart (played by Ethan Hawke, in a tour de force performance). The film is a surprising yet entirely fitting addition to the Richard Linklater canon. And the spirit of cinematic revolution is alive and well in Linklater's affectionate and wildly entertaining passion project, Nouvelle Vague, which transports the viewer back to a creative landmark: the 1959 making of Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard. Nouvelle Vague opens at Film at Lincoln Center on October 31st, with the first week of screenings presented on 35mm. Tickets are on sale now. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex. Get tickets at filmlinc.org.

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/.

There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

The guys do the most logical thing they can and follow up their naked gun episode with an examination of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. Does French New Wave cinema hold up to two dummies who have willingly watched the movie Lil' Pimp? FIND OUT.

The guys do the most logical thing they can and follow up their naked gun episode with an examination of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. Does French New Wave cinema hold up to two dummies who have willingly watched the movie Lil' Pimp? FIND OUT.

In the early days of the Hollywood studio system, producers exerted far greater creative control than any individual director. Then, in the mid-twentieth century, a group of young French critics issued a cri du coeur that gave rise to the figure of the auteur: visionary filmmakers ranging from Jean-Luc Godard to Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson. In the final installment of this year's Critics at Large interview series, Vinson Cunningham talks with fellow staff writer Richard Brody about the origins of auteur theory, and about the lengths to which directors have gone for artistic freedom in the decades since. They take Spike Lee's body of work as a case study, considering his new movie “Highest 2 Lowest” and how his filmmaking sensibility reflects his singular view of the world. “Style is a funny thing in movies,” Brody says. “If it's any good, it's not inseparable from substance. It is substance.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The 400 Blows” (1959)“Breathless” (1960)“Notes on the Auteur Theory in 1962,” by Andrew Sarris (Film Culture)“Circles and Squares,” by Pauline Kael (Film Quarterly)“Martin Scorsese on Making ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,' ” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013)“Spike Lee Comes Home,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Da Sweet Blood of Jesus” (2014)“Red Hook Summer” (2012)“A Great Film Reveals Itself in Five Minutes,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Highest 2 Lowest” (2025)“ ‘Highest 2 Lowest' Marks a Conservative Pivot for Spike Lee,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Do the Right Thing” (1989)New episodes drop every Thursday.
