Born from rebellion, the French New Wave changed cinema forever.
Inspired by the release of Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague (screening from 20th February), a new comedy-drama that recreates the shooting of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, this season revisits the filmmakers who tore up the rulebook in the late 1950s and 60s, capturing youth, love and modern life with restless energy and daring style.
From café conversations and fleeting romances to pop musicals and radical experiments in form, these films remain as alive and influential as ever. Join us for a journey through landmark works including My Night with Maud, Cléo from 5 to 7, Breathless, Jules and Jim (on 35mm), Last Year in Marienbad and The Young Girls of Rochefort.
