Britain's What's On Event Guide
Nouvelle Vague film screening
Imagining of the making of Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary film classic “Breathless” made in Paris in 1960 that changed cinema forever, in the style and spirit of the original..
Filmmaker Richard Linklater credits Breathless and the French New Wave films as having changed his life and put him on course to become a film maker. This is his homage, a playful and poignant love letter to the cinema movement that inspired him. Shot in black-and-white it's a recreation of the era and people behind, as well as in, the making of Godard’s debut classic “À Bout de Souffle”, that starred Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo as the star-crossed lovers in Paris. François Truffaut wrote the basic story for Breathless giving Godard his commercial success; it was based on a sensational true-crime story about a tough guy who shoots a cop and gets an American girlfriend on the run, grabbing at love and romance while he can, existentially aware that a cop-killer’s days are numbered.
French and English, with subtitles
