Zoey Deutch Channels Seberg in Breathless-Inspired Nouvelle Vague
Zoey Deutch stars as Jean Seberg in Richard Linklater’s playful Nouvelle Vague, a Breathless-inspired tribute that has Deutch learning French for two years and embodying Seberg’s transatlantic energy. The film places Seberg at a pivotal Paris moment and explores her life amid Godard’s bold experimentation, while Deutch reflects on Seberg’s real story and her own rise, aided by her Hollywood-family background and a personal motto she literally keeps on her foot: a ‘Yes’ tattoo.
