New Wave

Shown in last year's festival competition at Cannes, Richard Linklater's latest work is an energetic and brilliant journey to the birth of the French New Wave. The director, one of the most important figures in American independent cinema, pays homage to Godard and an entire generation of artists who transformed the face of world cinema. New Wave is a film about passion, creative freedom and the courage to dream differently. With extraordinary lightness and humor, it shows the artist at the moment when a work is born, and cinema becomes a space of rebellion and youthful energy.
