The Initial Trailer for Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague Revives the History of Cinema
After the release of two films last year, Hit Man and the somewhat-underappreciated God Save Texas: Hometown Prison, the prolific Richard Linklater is set to return in 2025 with another pair of projects. Earlier this year, he debuted Blue Moon at Berlinale. In advance of that film's October release, he is at Cannes to unveil Nouvelle Vague, a homage to the French New Wave and a tale about the creation of Breathless—all filmed in the style of Jean-Luc Godard’s iconic debut. A first trailer has been released for the feature (which is still looking for U.S. distribution) ahead of the premiere.
The cast features Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo, Matthieu Penchinat as Raoul Coutard, Adrien Rouyard as François Truffaut, Antoine Besson as Claude Chabrol, Roxane Rivière as Agnès Varda, Jean-Jacques Le Vessier as Jean Cocteau, Côme Thieulin as Éric Rohmer, Laurent Mothe as Roberto Rossellini, Jonas Marmy as Jacques Rivette, and others.
