Linklater’s "Nouvelle Vague" is a tribute to Godard’s 1960 classic Breathless, recreated in black‑and‑white with a playful nod to Truffaut’s influence. The film follows the making of Breathless, casting Aubry Dullin as Jean‑Paul Belmondo and Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, with Guillaume Marbeck playing Godard. Critics praise the film’s respectful homage and smooth execution, noting it avoids the jarring jump‑cuts that defined the original. Overall reviewers give the movie a positive reception for its tasteful, cinephile approach.
