Nouvelle Vague (12A)
Nouvelle Vague is Richard Linklater’s love letter to the spellbinding magic of French cinema, reimagining the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s revolutionary Breathless, which ultimately cemented Godard as a pioneer of the French New Wave.
As critic-turned-director Godard makes and breaks the rules, a mix of fresh faces and daring talents - including Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Guillaume Marbeck as Godard himself - bring his spontaneous, electric film to life.
Capturing the youthful dynamism and creative chaos at the heart of one of the world’s most beloved and influential movies, Nouvelle Vague transports us to the streets of 1959 Paris for an ode to the power of cinema to transform our lives.
Breathless screens as part of our French New Wave season which runs 25 Jan - 18 Feb.
Godard's Bande à part also screens, and we have a rare chance to see cult favourite Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? on the big screen.
