American director Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague and Sylvain Chomet’s Marcel et Monsieur Pagnol – both of which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival at the weekend – prove that the art of making cinema is an endless source of inspiration.
With Nouvelle Vague, in the main competition at Cannes, Linklater pays homage to his idol, French director Jean-Luc Godard, by re-enacting the making of his iconic debut, 1959's Breathless.
