Paris, late 1950s: 28-year-old Jean-Luc Godard is the only one in his circle of friends who has not yet made his own film. With a crazy team, an American film star and little money, he finally succeeds in creating a masterpiece under adventurous circumstances with EXCEPT BREATH that turns cinema upside down. In NOUVELLE VAGUE, cult director Richard Linklater tells the story of the making of a modern classic and brings a generation of young savages back to life: enviably casual, outrageously brave and driven by the unconditional will to do everything differently. A deep bow to the cinema, full of esprit and humour. NOUVELLE VAGUE celebrated its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival - acclaimed by critics, audiences and fans such as Quentin Tarantino.
