Overview

• Netflix released the first look at Nouvelle Vague, Linklater’s dramatization of the circumstances around Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless.
• U.S. distribution is set: a limited theatrical opening on October 31, followed by Netflix streaming on November 14.
• Guillaume Marbeck portrays Godard, Zoey Deutch plays Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin plays Jean-Paul Belmondo.
• The film was shot in Paris, is largely in French, and uses black-and-white, a 1.33:1 frame, film grain, and even reel-change cues to evoke late-1950s cinema.
• Deadline reports the film drew an 11-minute ovation at Cannes and that Netflix acquired it for $4 million, while RogerEbert.com’s review was filed from what it describes as the Toronto world premiere.
