Nouvelle Vague takes us back to Paris in the 1950s. Jean-Luc Godard is convinced he can make better films than the ones he critiques – French cinema must be torn down and rebuilt from scratch. In a creative frenzy lasting just 23 days, he makes À bout de souffle (1960), later hailed as a cornerstone of the French New Wave and one of the most influential films of all time. Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague is a playful tribute to a pivotal moment in film history.

This film is part of the Reprise program, in which five Kosmorama staff members select memorable cinema experiences from 2025. Producer Melissa Isaksen chose Nouvelle Vague, saying:

The film premiered at Cannes, where I was lucky enough to see it in a packed cinema filled with film professionals and French audiences. Making a film about making French film is not without risk – especially when you’re not French! To my delight, the screening was filled with laughter. Richard Linklater has created a film that touches the very core and love of filmmaking, with charm and playfulness. You don’t need to have seen À bout de souffle beforehand – just sit back and enjoy a small piece of film history.
