Nouvelle Vague

Another edition of Linklater's lively ode to Godard captures the same moment of ignition from a different vantage, underlining how myths are built in the retelling. Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg become icons in the process, but the film never forgets the scuffling improvisation that made it possible. It's a love letter to risk, to friendship, and to the idea that cinema can be invented on a street corner; French with English subtitles.
