help Nouvelle Vague FAQ
Is Nouvelle Vague a remake of Breathless?
No, Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague dramatizes the making of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless rather than retelling its crime plot. Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard, Zoey Deutch plays Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin plays Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Why is Nouvelle Vague filmed in black and white?
The visual approach evokes Breathless and the inexpensive, mobile filmmaking associated with the French New Wave. Linklater also uses the period style to place the audience inside the production culture of Paris around 1959.
Which real filmmakers appear as characters in Nouvelle Vague?
The story includes Godard and collaborators associated with Cahiers du cinéma, including François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, and Éric Rohmer. Producer Georges de Beauregard and cinematographer Raoul Coutard are also part of the Breathless production story.
Do I need to watch Breathless before Nouvelle Vague?
It is not required, because Nouvelle Vague explains the personalities and production problems surrounding Godard's debut feature. Watching the 1960 Breathless first will make its references to jump cuts, handheld shooting, Seberg, and Belmondo more recognizable.
