After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, young Godard decides making films is the best film criticism. He gets Beauregard to fund a low-budget feature, creating a treatment with Truffaut about a gangster couple. From Director Richard Linklater, NOUVELLE VAGUE is the story of Jean-Luc Godard making "Breathless". The film is a love letter to the revolutionary magic of the French New Wave and a homage to Godard's influential 1960 film, capturing its youthful dynamism and creative chaos.
