Richard Linklater Set to Shoot French Film Next March, Story About Godard and the Making of “Breathless”

November 11, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

I have an exclusive for you this weekend.

Richard Linklater is currently casting actors for his next film, which will be set in Paris and shot entirely in French. Production is set to begin in March 2024.

The film will reconstruct the story behind the creation of the Nouvelle Vague movement in French cinema and focus on the production of Jean-Luc Godard’s 1959 groundbreaker “A Bout de Souffle” (“Breathless”).

The characters in the film will include legendary filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard, Jean Cocteau, Robert Bresson, Roberto Rossellini, Jean-Pierre Melville, Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette — most of them were responsible for the rise of the Nouvelle Vague in the ‘60s.

In a recent interview, Linklater confirmed that he was shooting a film in Paris, entirely in French. He went on to describe it as being “like a New Wave film.” It turns out, it’s actually about the ‘New Wave’ — I wouldn’t be surprised if Linklater shoots it in black and white.

Linklater is up there with the best filmmakers of his generation. His filmography is as original and diverse as they come: “Dazed and Confused,” “Waking Life,” “The School of Rock,” “Boyhood” and the ‘Before’ trilogy, among many more.

He has another critically-acclaimed film that’s been hitting the festival circuit this fall. It’s called “Hit Man” and it’s a wonderfully sexy screwball noir starring Glenn Powell and Adria Arjona.
