“Richard Linklater’s enjoyable deep dive celebrates how Godard’s ‘Breathless’ came to life”: The Hollywood Reporter  

Comedy drama directed by Richard Linklater, following the shooting of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (1960), one of the first feature films of the French New Wave of cinema. Francois Truffaut wrote the basic story for Breathless and thereby gave Godard his commercial success; it was based on a sensational true-crime story about a tough guy who shoots a cop and gets an American girlfriend on the run, grabbing at love and romance while he can, existentially aware that a cop-killer’s days are numbered.

Linklater’s homage to the making of the film is (according to The Guardian) “Very smooth: a slick Steadicam ride through a historic, tumultuous moment”.

Starring Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo.
