Netflix just set a release date for Richard Linklater's new comedy-drama — and I can't wait to watch
Netflix movies often don't get a theatrical release date. But that's exactly what's happening for "Nouvelle Vague," the latest film from Richard Linklater. If that name sounds familiar, there's a good reason. Linklater has quite possibly made one of your favorite movies — "Dazed and Confused," "Before Sunrise", "Boyhood" and "School of Rock," just to name a few. Will "Nouvelle Vague" join that prestigious list? Netflix is counting on it. It bought the U.S. distribution rights for this movie about Jean-Luc Godard and the making of the French Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) film "Breathless," after "Nouvelle Vague" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. That premiere earned an 11-minute standing ovation. Granted, the "Let's All Go to the Lobby" animation would probably get a standing ovation at a film festival, but 11 minutes is still impressive. Netflix is also putting the movie in theaters, which is another vote of confidence. The streaming service essentially only does this when it wants a movie to contend for awards (to win an Academy Award, a movie has to have played in theaters), meaning it thinks Linklater's film has the juice to bring home Oscar gold. If you're in one of the lucky few markets to get a theatrical screening, "Nouvelle Vague" will hit the big screen on Oct. 31 before premiering on Netflix two weeks later on Nov. 14. No matter where I get to see it, "Nouvelle Vague" is already one of my most anticipated movies of the year, and it was high up my list even before critics gave it rave reviews at Cannes. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I will freely admit, though, that this movie is not necessarily for everyone. Linklater is a fairly accessible director, but this is a French-language film in black and white about making a French-language film in black and white. It's very much for cinephiles. The trailer certainly doesn't seem to be shying away from that expectation either. Poorly executed, such an endeavour could be a conceited, or worse — boring — arthouse film about art. But critics seem to think Linklater nailed it, giving the movie an 86% "fresh" rating across 44 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. "An elegant love letter to the influential era in French cinema," wrote Tomris Laffley for Elle. "In stunning black and white, and with the grainy sound quality of the era, Linklater gives new life to period picture, making it romantic, exquisitely detailed, and timeless." "It shouldn't work," wrote Justin Chang for The New Yorker, echoing some of my concerns about the film. "But really it does... A playful Who's Who of late-fifties French film, a wittily engrossing and ultra-disciplined execution of a conceit that sounded self-indulgent on paper." So, whether you watch it at your local cinema or at your TV at home, just make sure to add "Nouvelle Vague" to your watchlist. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Jean Paul Gaultier and Crocs Tease Punk-Inspired Collaboration
Summary The worlds of high fashion and accessible comfort are once again colliding in a spectacular fashion. Following its successful partnerships with brands likeSimone RochaandBalenciaga,Crocshas now set its sights on a truly iconic collaborator:Jean Paul Gaultier. The legendary French fashion house has teased a collaboration on Instagram, revealing a punk-inspired collection that promises to be a fearless reinterpretation of Crocs' signature silhouettes. This partnership is a masterclass in creative fusion, blending Crocs' classic comfort with Gaultier's rebellious, avant-garde aesthetic. The teaser images reveal a collection that draws from the house's most recognizable design codes, including the provocative use of safety pins and corsetry details. This isn't just about a logo swap; it's a profound re-imagining of the clog as a canvas for high-fashion punk. The collaboration will reportedly feature three distinct designs across the Bae Clog and Classic Clog silhouettes. A faux leather clog adorned with Gaultier's signature safety pin motif, adding a sharp, punk-rock edge is shown in the teasers, as is one that features a unique lace-like graphic print, evoking the brand's historic use of intricate patterns and one that gives a nod to the iconic cone bra with subtle circular stitching and corset-style lacing. This collaboration is a testament to Crocs' remarkable evolution from a utilitarian boat shoe to a high-fashion darling. By partnering with a brand as iconic as Jean Paul Gaultier, Crocs continues to solidify its place at the intersection of couture and streetwear. The collection is set to drop sometime in August 2025, and while pricing has yet to be announced, it's safe to say these will be among the most coveted Crocs releases to date.
