One of the smaller but potentially most potent Netflix titles this year is Richard Linklater‘s Nouvelle Vague. A love letter to the French New Wave, covering rhe making of Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard and company, the movie debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews, being acquired by the streamer in the process. Some have been worried that such a great looking black and white effort would not get to shine on the big screen at all now. Well, that won’t be the case. The film will hit select theaters on October 31st, giving it a theatrical bow, before moving to Netflix on November 14th.
This is what Netflix had to say about the film in their press release announcing the date:
Nouvelle Vague is Linklater’s love letter to the revolutionary magic of the French New Wave, reimagining the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (1960), which cemented Godard’s place as a pioneer of global cinema. As critic-turned-director Godard makes and breaks the rules, a mix of fresh faces and daring talents bring his spontaneous, electric film to life. Capturing the youthful dynamism and creative chaos at the heart of one of the world’s most beloved and influential movies, Nouvelle Vague transports us to the streets of 1959 Paris for an ode to the transformative power of cinema.
Additionally, according to Scott Feinberg at The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix will be campaigning the movie in all categories, with Zoey Deutch campaigned in Best Supporting Actress. Time will tell if France selects it as their submission for Best International Feature at the Oscars, but the streamer will certainly do their best to convince them to.
