  • Guillaume Marbeck plays Jean‑Luc Godard, with Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg and Aubry Dullin as Jean‑Paul Belmondo in a dramatization of the making of Breathless.
  • Shot entirely in Paris and mostly in French, the film embraces period technique with black-and-white photography, a 4:3 frame, and visible film grain.

  • Deadline reported Netflix acquired the film after Cannes for about $4 million, as the movie populates its world with New Wave figures and cinephile references.
