Reseña del Festival de Cine BFI de Londres 2025 – Nouvelle Vague

      Nouvelle Vague, 2025

      Dirigida por Richard Linklater.

      Protagonizada por Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin, Adrien Rouyard, Antoine Besson, Jodie Ruth-Forest, Bruno Dreyfürst, Benjamin Clery, Matthieu Penchinat, Pauline Belle, Paolo Luka-Noé y Jade Phan-Gia.

      SINOPSIS:

      Después de escribir para Cahiers du cinéma, el joven Godard decide que hacer películas es la mejor crítica cinematográfica. Convence a Beauregard para financiar un largometraje de bajo presupuesto, creando un tratamiento con Truffaut sobre una pareja de gánsteres.

      El cine francés a finales de los años 50 y principios de los 60 creó una onda expansiva que reverbera hasta hoy. Figuras como François Truffaut, Agnès Varda, Jean-Pierre Melville y, por supuesto, Jean-Luc Godard, cambiaron la percepción que el público y la crítica tenían del cine. El movimiento fue, claro, la Nueva Ola (Nouvelle Vague), y ahora Richard Linklater nos trae su homenaje a este movimiento tan influyente con Nouvelle Vague.

      La película sigue a Godard (Guillaume Marbeck), Truffaut y compañía mientras ruedan Breathless, una película que es una de las señas del movimiento. Linklater ha estructurado la película como una cinta perdida de la nouvelle vague, con la energía, el brío y el estilo de los filmes franceses de principios de los sesenta. Sin embargo, ¿es este estilo forma sin fondo, o un homenaje sentido?

      Abrimos con un grupo de críticos de Cahiers du cinéma, aspirantes a directores ellos mismos, discutiendo su paso a la realización cinematográfica en Cannes. No mucho después, Truffaut (Adrien Rouyard) tenía en sus manos un gran éxito con Los 400 golpes. Godard decide que es el momento de dirigir él mismo, con Truffaut asistiendo en las labores de escritura. Esto daría inicio a Breathless, con pocas tomas y una energía frenética; el rodaje provocó caos con el director impulsivo, incluso en su primer largometraje, evitando ceñirse al guion.

      Se trata de un homenaje cariñoso a las películas de la época, lleno de guiños no solo a Breathless sino a las obras de otros directores y a posteriores filmes de Godard. Está estilizado en parte como un documental, con carteles identificativos cada vez que aparece una figura prominente del movimiento; Linklater capta el parecido de la mayoría a la perfección. Refleja perfectamente la estructura de las películas de la época y convierte esto en un filme evocador e increíblemente estiloso hasta su propio extremo. Es algo más estructurada que algunas de las películas de la nouvelle vague, con una maravillosa banda sonora de jazz que mantiene el ritmo. A ratos puede perderse, siendo excesivamente referencial y fiel a los autores que celebra, unido al número de cameos y guiños.

      Aunque los homenajes encantarán a los aficionados de la época, pueden pasar inadvertidos para los espectadores más casuales. La impulsividad e impacto de Godard, sin embargo, están perfectamente canalizados con una magnífica interpretación central de Guillaume Marbeck. Zoey Deutch está bien aprovechada como Jean Seberg, coprotagonista de Breathless, que se muestra atónita ante la naturaleza no estructurada del rodaje.

      Lo más destacable de Nouvelle Vague es lo naturalmente que Linklater maneja una película en francés. Está claramente hecha con amor por él y tiene un encanto real y un sentido de diversión. Si no es tan rompedor como las películas a las que hace referencia, todavía hay mucho que admirar en la carta de amor de Linklater al cine francés.
