An American Makes a European Film

The impossible has been made possible: an American has made a European film.A film made for cinephiles by cinephiles about a generation of cinephiles that birthed a defining era of cinema, 'Nouvelle Vague' stylishly explores the making of Jean-Luc Godard's debut, "À Bout De Souffle (Breathless)" by filling every frame, cut, and word with the essence of Godard himself.What I watched wasn't simply a film, but more like a resurrection; a resurrection of artists who became staples of the era they inhabited; of ideas and style. For a brief moment, the French New Wave rolled right on up to the shores of today.Those with a limited understanding of the French New Wave era and its major players won't be able to fully appreciate all this film has to offer and those with a more in depth knowledge of the era will most definitely have a more nuanced take than that of my own, but as someone who is somewhere in between the two, what I found in Linklater's latest film is quite simply a love letter. A love letter to an era which continues to inspire long after its final credits have rolled.

Watched at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.While it's sappy energy and charm doesn't fully resonate with me as I would have hoped for, Richard Linklater has crafted a solid homage tale about Jean-Luc Godard's masterpiece Breathless and the French New Wave era. Capturing the essence of it's time period, production designs, style and the atmosphere perfectly of how Godard writes and approaches.What I really appreciate about this movie is that Linklater approaches the editing, direction, atmosphere and writing just like Godard, being able to capture his style and atmosphere perfectly that feels respectful and interesting. With the production designs, sound and dialogue being great, it's homage and approach feels purposeful without feeling as if it was an Oscar Bait movie. Alongside with the good uses of black and white camera work, structure and fiction and non-fiction style approach.The performances are pretty good as the cast were able to offer a good light to once well known actors and directors that existed. Although, there were a few performances, particularly Zoey Detuch, while good, at times some of the emotions and style felt weirdly off. Alongside with some of the pacing and the writing that definitely needs to some working.Overall, another good movie from Richard Linklater.

Decent

I watched this movie for in a field trip and I loved the retro french film vibe. There were some parts in the movie where I got quite bored and there were some confusing moments but I ended up liking it a lot in the end. The cast is great and the camera quality is one of the best i've ever seen in any movie and im being so serious.
