France, 2025, 106 mins DIRECTOR: Richard Linklater WITH: Guillame Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin Experience the chaos behind one of the most influential films of the 20th century. Richard Linklater’s latest film is a black-and-white dramatisation of the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s 1959 debut feature, Breathless. Filmed and edited in the distinctive style of the French New Wave, Nouvelle Vague (2025) follows a sunglasses-clad Godard (Guillaume Marbeck) as he fights to realize his vision and upend cinematic convention—frustrating everyone around him in the process. Faithful to history, the film captures the guerrilla-style production: improvised shooting, unsynced sound, and spontaneous camera work, alongside the creative tensions with crew and producers that nearly drove Jean Seberg off set. The Cambridge Film Festival is presented by the Cambridge Film Trust, a registered charity with a mission to foster film culture and education for the benefit of the public, in Cambridge, the Eastern region, and throughout the UK.
