Cinema: «Nouvelle Vague» in Ilanz

Indescribably cool, incredibly courageous, driven by the will to make everything new and different, Jean-Luc Godard made his first feature film "À bout de souffle" in Paris in 1959. He breaks all the rules of film production. What, where and whether to shoot at all, Godard decides spontaneously in the morning in the bistro. "À bout de souffle" made history, became a major work of the French Nouvelle Vague and had a lasting influence on world cinema.

Richard Linklater's feature film "Nouvelle Vague" tells the story of the creation of Jean-Luc Godard's groundbreaking masterpiece about the amour fou of a petty criminal with a young American woman. Shot in black and white, it offers insights into a turning point in the history of cinema and in the career of director Godard, who had previously worked as a film critic. "Novelle Vague" has won numerous international awards, is outstandingly acted and dives deep into the atmosphere and attitude to life in Paris in 1959. A rousing homage to Godard's iconic work – and an irresistible declaration of love for cinema.
