Jean-Luc Godard (Guillaume Marbeck) shoots Breathless in Nouvelle Vague. He casts Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) and Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dullin) in the lead roles. Director Richard Linklater and screenwriters Holly Gent and Vincent Palmo have made a charming, breezy and amusing, but shallow and tedious homage to the French New Wave that overstays its welcome. All of the actors and actresses resemble the Golden Age actors and actresses that they portray as do the actors in the role of directors like Adrien Rouyard who plays François Truffaut. The stand-out, though, is Aubry Dullin who's Nouvelle Vague's MVP. Linklater shoots the film in black-and-white which adds to the authenticity, but beyond that, this probably would've worked better as a short. At 1 hour and 38 minutes, Nouvelle Vague opens at Angelika Film Center and The Paris Theatre via Netflix.
