David Chambille talks about his approach to filming Richard Linklater’s "Nouvelle Vague" ("New Wave")

"Camera, Raoul !", by François Reumont for the AFC

[ English ] [ français ]

A film about cinema and its mystery, Nouvelle Vague (New Wave), by Richard Linklater (Boyhood), is a journey through time that literally teleports us to Paris in 1959. An extremely well-documented fiction, and a meticulous recreation of the making of A bout de souffle, one of the most influential films of modern cinema. As this film runs for the 2025 Palme d’Or, David Chambille explains how the American director asked him to film "the reverse angle to what Godard and Coutard were aiming at the time"... (FR)
