Linklater’s vibrant tribute to Godard captures the brilliance, egos and accidents behind a film that sparked a revolution. If being locked in the Criterion Closet for a couple of hours sounds like heaven, Richard Linklater has made the perfect film for you. It’s a playful, black-and-white making-of story for Jean-Luc Godard’s New Wave classic Breathless – À bout de souffle to the cinephile crowd – that captures a revolutionary moment in cinema history with reverence and a touch of cheek. For devoted film lovers, Nouvelle Vague is a must-see – a joyful homage to the art of cinema that’ll have you queuing at your local repertory cinema as soon as the credits roll.” — Phil de Semlyen, Time Out
