Directed by Richard Linklater, this vibrant meta-cinematic comedy-drama dramatizes the chaotic behind-the-scenes creation of Jean-Luc Godard's seminal 1960s film Breathless. Transporting audiences straight to the bustling streets of 1959 Paris, the film functions as a stylized love letter to the birth of the French New Wave. It captures a rebellious group of critics-turned-directors who threw out old studio rules to reinvent cinematic art. By mirroring the bouncy, improvisational aesthetic of the era it depicts, Linklater crafts a witty, affectionate celebration of youthful ambition and the enduring magic of movie history.
