Nouvelle Vague 4K 2025

1959, Paris. Half the staff at "Cahiers du Cinéma" had already directed a film. Chabrol had managed to make two, and François Truffaut was being applauded at Cannes for his "Les Coups". And only Jean-Luc Godard, whom everyone—or at least he himself—considers a genius, had a couple of short films under his belt. Godard finally decides he’s ready and borrows a small amount of money from his friend, producer de Boregar, to make a film based on a news clipping from the crime section. The director’s friend Jean-Paul Belmondo would play a crook on the run, and rising American star Jean Seberg, who had recently moved to France, would play his unreliable girlfriend.
