This is not about remaking ‘‘Breathless’’, but looking at it from another angle. I want to dive into 1959 with my camera and recreate the era, the people, the atmosphere. I want to hang out with the New Wave crowd. I told all the actors: “You are NOT making a period film. You are living in the moment. Godard is a well-known critic, but he’s a first-time director. You’re having fun shooting with him, but you’re wondering if this film will ever be released…” Richard Linklater.
