My friend Roger at RogerEbert.com observes that Nouvelle Vague is Richard Linklater’s affectionate homage to the French New Wave, portraying Jean-Luc Godard’s revolutionary filmmaking process with a blend of vintage aesthetics and witty meta-commentary that both educates and entertains cinephiles. Roger notes that while some may find the film’s approach too polished compared to Godard’s iconoclastic spirit, Linklater’s passion for cinema shines through, making Nouvelle Vague a delightful introduction—and love letter—to the art movement that forever changed the language of film.
