At Cannes, Richard Linklater Discusses The Future Of Cinema: ‘I Have A Lot Of Hope'

More pose during the "Nouvelle Vague" (New Wave) photocall at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 18, 2025 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Daniele Venturelli/WireImage) Richard Linklater, the director of the Before trilogy, Boyhood, Dazed and Confused and upcoming Blue Moon, was at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of his new movie Nouvelle Vague, which tells the story of the making of one of Jean-Luc Godard's most iconic movies, Breathless, or A Bout de Souffle in French, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg and released in 1960. Nouvelle Vague stars Zoey Deutch in the role of Seberg, Aubry Dullin as Belmondo and Guillaume Marbeck as Godard. The film earned an enraptured 10-minute ovation inside the Théâtre Lumière on Saturday night. 'I've made a lot of films, and I always felt, you know, if you do it long enough, maybe you should do one film about making films, so I thought this would be mine,' Linklater said during the press conference. He added: 'It's not about making one of my films, but making a film that inspired me and many generations of filmmakers. A Bout de Souffle is an important film, if you think of the history of cinema, it's been 130 years since the factory doors opened for the Lumière brothers, in 1895 and A Bout de Souffle is exactly the middle point, 65 years ago. So what was modern is now half the cinema history, but it's forever modern and forever inspiring for new generations of filmmakers. So it felt like an important moment in cinema history.'

(Photo by) One of the many beautiful ways Linklater paid tribute to Breathless in Nouvelle Vague was also by making his own film 'Like it was made in 1959 too.' Later on, Linklater also talked about the theatrical experience and the new ways of consuming movies, especially with the arrival of so many new streaming platforms. He said, 'When you're making a movie, you envision it with an audience, in like what we were privileged to have last night, an appreciative audience, in a theatre, a community. It's a communal enterprise, both making and watching a film, that's definitely the ideal. I have a lot of hope. There's a young generation coming along that loves movies. In Austin where I live, the Austin Film Society that I started 4o years ago, we have two screenings, we show so many movies, and it's all young people coming to the movies.' Linklater added: 'I call them the Letterboxd generation, they're all online, it means a lot to them, they go to the movies, they talk about them, they have a big community. I'm really into film societies, campus screenings, where I saw the New Wave films in those local cinemas. I think that's a big revival, certainly in the U.S. that I'm aware of, that's kind of my world. I am optimistic, cinema is optimistic.' Linklater also explained that cinema has always felt under attack. He said, 'It is tough, it's a struggle, but it always has been. Cinema and art commerce, there's always a threat. But we, the audience, like stories being told to us, we like the format, feature films, there's more indie films than ever being made, it's just harder to get them seen, but we adapt.' He added: 'Most people see films with DVDs later, movies have long lives, you're not going to see everything in the theatre, there's not one purity, I want to get people off purity. You talk to the greatest filmmakers, Martin Scorsese, he watched a movie on a black and white TV growing up, that's where he fell in love with cinema. It wasn't always a movie theatre. Quentin Tarantino it was the video store. Cinema grabs you wherever it grabs you. You find it where you find it, but the cinema is the Church. But you can be worshipful wherever you are.'

The first trailer for Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague promises to leave you breathless
Following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, the first trailer for Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague has now been released. The film's title means New Wave in English, and it follows director Jean Luc-Godard as he directs his first feature film, Breathless. That film, which is often considered the beginning of the French New Wave, had an enormous impact on the history of movies more generally. Guillaume Marbeck plays the film's director, and Zoey Deutch stars as American actress Jean Seberg with Aubry Dullin as her French co-star Jean Paul-Belmondo. The teaser suggests that the film is shot in the same black-and-white style as the original Breathless, and features footage from the film along with French narration that describes what it is. 'A pretty boy. A pretty girl. Paris 1959. A gym. A director. A camera. Film. A producer. An ingénue. Stars. Money. An American star. An American car,' the female narrator says. This is not the first time that Linklater has gone back into the history of film to forage material for his own work. His 2008 film Me and Orson Welles had a similar premise, and followed a young man who gets a small role in the famous director's 1937 stage production of Julius Caesar. Recommended Videos Nouvelle Vague reportedly got an 11-minute standing ovation following its Cannes premiere. While those ovations don't always strictly correlate with the quality of a given movie, you'd rather have a long ovation than a short one. We won't know for sure how good the movie actually is until it hits theaters in October 8.

Richard Linklater Stuns Cannes as ‘Nouvelle Vague' Earns Rapturous 6.5 Minute Standing Ovation and Lots of Love From Quentin Tarantino
Richard Linklater's French New Wave tribute 'Nouvelle Vague' was always going to find a perfect home at Cannes, and such is the case following the period drama's rapturous world premiere in competition at the 2025 festival. The film earned a rousing six-and-half-minute standing ovation as the cast hugged each other and leading lady Zoey Deutch blowed kisses to the audience. The 'Nouvelle Vague' premiere was a spirited affair from the start. Linklater and cast member Zoey Deutch were spotted singing along and dancing on the red carpet as they ascended the iconic stairs at the Palais. Before the film started, Linklater hugged and chatted briefly with Quentin Tarantino. The 'Pulp Fiction' director, who has premiered several movies at Cannes, enthusiastically clapped for Linklater during the standing ovation. Tarantino was visibly moved by the film.

Over a year ago we were filming right here,' Linklater told the crowd as the standing ovation came to an end. 'And we all said: 'wouldn't it be amazing if we could end up here showing our movie. It would be crazy to be here.' And here we are! Cinema is magic. It meant so much to us to try and recreate the time and place. It means so much in film history, and it meant so much to each cast member, every crew member. Everybody worked so hard to try and get it right and recreate this moment. And thank you for this moment.' In 'Nouvelle Vague,' Linklater chronicles the making of Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave classic 'Breathless.' Guillaume Marbeck stars as the iconic French filmmaker, with Deutch playing the movie's leading lady, Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin starring as the film's male star Jean-Paul Belmondo. The movie is Linklater's first project shot in French. Critics were just as enthusiastic about the movie as the premiere audience. Variety's Owen Gleiberman called the movie a highlight of the 2025 festival, writing: 'Guillaume Marbeck is so perfect as Jean-Luc Godard he's uncanny. And so is the whole movie.'Linklater has often cited Godard as one of his biggest inspirations, making 'Nouvelle Vague' a passion project for him. Speaking to press last year, Linklater said that Godard taught him an 'absolute love and dedication to cinema. That cinema is its own world that's worthy of reverence to treat as an elevated, all-encompassing, devote-your-life-to art form. That's what I'm trying to conjure in that movie. Just to show the absolute love of cineastes.' Linklater is proving to be a major festival player this year. He attended the Berlin International Film Festival in February to unveil another movie, the Lorenz Hart biographical music drama 'Blue Moon,' starring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley and Andrew Scott. The movie earned strong reviews and won Scott the Silver Bear for supporting performance. Sony Pictures Classics is set to release 'Blue Moon' in theaters later this year. Linklater's other recent movies include 'Hit Man' with Glen Powell, which premiered at Venice in 2023 on its way to Netflix streaming success.

Linklater feared Cannes entry 'Nouvelle Vague' would be rejected by France
CANNES, France, May 18 (Reuters) - Acclaimed U.S. director Richard Linklater initially thought his film about the French New Wave movement, "Nouvelle Vague," would never be shown at theatres in France due to his nationality, he told journalists at the Cannes Film Festival. "Ten years ago, when we were thinking about this movie, I'm not kidding, at the time I said I imagine a film with subtitles. And I thought, they'll hate that an American director did it," he said on Sunday, a day after the film's red carpet premiere. "We'll show it all over the world, but never in France, because they'll just hate it," the director of "Boyhood" and "Before Sunset" recalled in the French Riviera resort town. "But as I got closer to it and I found enthusiastic partners, I realised how much it meant to them," he said. "Nouvelle Vague," shot in a black-and-white 4:3 format with all the actors speaking in French, follows director Jean-Luc Godard, arguably one of the most influential filmmakers of his generation, in the making of the seminal 1960 film "Breathless." French actor Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard, while Zoey Deutch and Aubry Dullin play the iconic duo Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo, respectively. The making of the film was well-documented, which allowed Linklater to faithfully re-enact the 20-day shoot: "We had the camera notes, we had the reports. I never knew more about a film that I didn't make," he said. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker, who shot "Nouvelle Vague" in France, also expressed his admiration for the French film industry and its focus on taking care of the sector. "The U.S. could use a little bit of that," Linklater said, adding that he didn't think U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on foreign-made films would come into force. "That's not going to happen, right? The guy changes his mind like 50 times in one day," Linklater said about Trump.
