SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema presents Behind the Screen: Nouvelle Vague
DESCRIPTION:NOUVELLE VAGUE is Richard Linklater’s love letter to the magic of French New Wave cinema\, as he reimagines the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (1960)\, the film that established Godard’s signature place in the history of cinema. The film is about a young and impulsive criminal in Paris and his American girlfriend. In Nouvelle Vague we are transported back to the streets of 1959 Paris for a delightful and vibrant recreation of one of cinema’s most groundbreaking productions. It is an ode to the transformative power of cinema. \nPOST SCREENING PANEL DISCUSSION\nOur distinguished panel will delve into how this film pays tribute to one of the world’s most beloved and influential example of French New Wave cinema. We will go deeper into why this film brought international attention to new ways of French film-making and the impact of French New Wave on how movies are made. \nPANELISTS:\nTY BURR\nTy Burr\, nationally renowned film critic\, who reviews films for The Washington Post and writes the film and popular culture newsletter\, “Ty Burr’s Watchlist”.
