Join us for a post-screening discussion with Ericka Knudson, author of "Nouvelle Femmes: Modern Women of the French New Wave and Their Enduring Contribution to Cinema," moderated by Barbara Bouquegneau, President and Executive Director of French Library. Knudson will sign books after the screening. Academy Award® nominee Richard Linklater’s love letter to the spellbinding magic of French cinema reimagines the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s revolutionary French New Wave classic BREATHLESS. As critic-turned-director Godard makes and breaks the rules, a mix of fresh faces and daring talents—including an incredible Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg—bring his spontaneous, electric film to life. Capturing the youthful dynamism and creative chaos at the heart of one of the world’s most beloved and influential movies, NOUVELLE VAGUE transports us to the streets of 1959 Paris for an ode to the power of cinema to transform our lives.
