Richard Linklater / France, USA 2025 / 106 mins / Cert. 12A / Subtitles
Set in Paris at the dawn of the 1960s, Richard Linklater’s vibrant and stylish tribute to the birth of French New Wave cinema, follows pioneering young filmmakers – including Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette – as they challenge cinematic conventions and reinvent the art of filmmaking. Capturing the excitement, humour and creative ferment of the era, the film brings to life one of cinema’s most influential movements. Rich in atmosphere and film history, Nouvelle Vague is both an affectionate love letter to movies and an enjoyably fascinating portrait of artistic revolution.
