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 MB C @MB.Cinema 1d Nouvelle Vague is follows Jean-Luc Godard during the chaotic making of Breathless. While the premise promises a bold look at a cinematic revolution, the film leans more toward narration than immersion. It captures the era visually with strong black-and-white cinematography. However, the storytelling feels too safe, lacking real tension or emotional depth. The rebellious spirit is discussed more than truly felt. Overall, it’s an interesting but underwhelming portrait of artistic defiance..... See more Irene M @igawel 2d April 2026 Loved Loved Loved this movie. (Saw it the night after re-watching "A Bout De Souffle", including all the DVD extras, which heightened our enjoyment) I loved the Director of Photography/CameraMan. I loved that the script supervisor had nothing to do. I loved the scene in the editing room. I loved all of Jean Luc's quotes. See more Jason T @RT44643092 Mar 19 An astounding achievement. Uncanny and impossible, but Mr. Linklater captured, inspected, and projected an entire vibe - hook, line and sinker. The acting is literally as if they are Belmondo and Seberg... as they were? As we imagine them? Who cares. This is what it must have been, and if it wasn't, then it is even better. A fantasy of a fantasy, with a level of authenticity which borders on pure documentary. It is amazing. And that an American and English-language filmmaker shot this entirely in France, and used French actors, French production company, and the dialogue primarily in French with subtitles...unbelievable. An absolute joy to absorb. So much fun and so interesting. The interchanges between director and producer are fantastic. And the friction between Seberg (actor) and Godard (director) are intense and hysterical if you know anything about the industry. Even the special replationsip between a director and his cameraman is captured with great awarenenss and kinship. (sigh) See more Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Feb 16 This is better served as a 30 minute documentary as a blu-ray extra. At 106 minutes, it is painfully boring. The storytelling of Goddard's making of the classic just isn't that interesting. See more Read all reviews
