A new hangout movie from the man who knows them like the back of his hand, Richard Linklater's "Nouvelle Vague" chronicles the making of Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" and pays tribute to the French New Wave in a way that recalls his previous films like "Slacker" and the "Before" series.

This is mine," said Richard Linklater at the Cannes press conference for his latest film Nouvelle Vague, a love letter to French New Wave. Nouvelle Vague tells the story of the making of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless.

Richard Linklater’s Cannes Competition title 'Nouvelle Vague' had its world premiere the Palais this evening and was welcomed with a 11-minute ovation.
