In a deep-dive conversation for CULTURED, Richard Linklater and Zoey Deutch discussed the ten-year journey to bring “Nouvelle Vague” to the screen. Linklater defended Jean-Luc Godard’s “difficult” reputation, attributing his social friction to neurodivergence rather than a “dark heart.” Deutch, whose portrayal of Jean Seberg has earned her major awards recognition, detailed the challenge of playing a French cinema icon. The film, now streaming on Netflix, serves as a “punk-rock” tribute to the 1959 shoot that changed the rules of cinema forever.
