French film "Nouvelle Vague" directed by Richard Linklater is leading the pack at this year's Cesar Awards, France's prestigious equivalent of the Oscars. The movie has received a total of 10 nominations, including Best Film, Director, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Male Newcomer, and more.
Linklater's "Nouvelle Vague" pays homage to the French cinematic movement known as the New Wave, specifically the 1960 film "Breathless" by Jean-Luc Godard. The black-and-white movie follows a similar theme of youth rebellion in 1960s Paris. It world premiered at Cannes last year and was shortlisted for an Oscar nomination before Jafar Panahi's "It Was Just an Accident" took its place.
Other strong contenders include Carine Tardieu's intimate drama "L'attachement," Dominik Moll's procedural "Case 137," Stéphane Demoustier's historical drama "The Great Arch," and Hafsia Herzi's queer coming-of-age story. Thierry Kliffa's film "The Richest Woman in the World" is also up for several awards, including Best Actress for Isabelle Huppert.
In the best director category, three female helmers are vying for recognition: Tardieu, Herzi, and Demoustier. The best actor categories feature a diverse lineup of nominees, with Claes Bang leading the pack as part of "The Great Arch" cast.
Several breakout films have also made a strong impact on the nominations list. Pauline Loquès's "Nino" has received several nods, including Best First Film and Best Supporting Actress for Jeanne Balibar. Oliver Laxe's "Sirat," Kleber Mendonça Filho's "The Secret Agent," and Guan Hu's "Black Dog" round out the international feature category.
Hosted by Camille Cottin, this year's ceremony will take place on February 26 at the Olympia theater in Paris. The event promises to be an exciting celebration of French cinema, with Jim Carrey receiving the honorary Cesar Award.

I'm so stoked about the French film "Nouvelle Vague" by Richard Linklater getting a ton of recognition at the Cesar Awards! It's amazing how much love and respect the filmmakers have shown for the New Wave movement, especially with their nod to Jean-Luc Godard's classic "Breathless". The fact that they're showcasing these themes of youth rebellion in 1960s Paris is really cool. I mean, who wouldn't want to explore the art scene and societal upheaval back then? 
he's been making waves in the industry 4 ages now... and it's awesome that a new wave (pun intended) of directors is taking center stage with films like "L'attachement" & "Sirat". cant wait 2 see who takes home the gold at the cesar awards on Feb 26 
. The fact that three female directors are up for Best Director is also super impressive - we need more of these talented ladies in the industry 
! And I'm loving the diverse lineup of nominees, from Claes Bang to Isabelle Huppert... can't wait to see who takes home those awards 
and tried this insane ramen bowl for like 5 bucks 
it literally changed my life I'm talking crazy rich pork broth and springy noodles that didn't even break a sweat when I slurped them down 
anyway back to France and cinema what's up with the Oscars equivalent over there?
can't wait to see who else will be giving carrey a shoutout at the ceremony, but honestly, carrey's been doing some wild stuff lately so i'm intrigued to see what he's gonna bring to the table 
. and let's not forget pauline loquès's nino, that film has been getting so much love lately 
. overall, it's gonna be a great night for french cinema 
.
Isabelle Huppert's acting chops are on point, but who else is ready to take over the Cesar Awards? 
. Richard Linklater is basically getting a free pass for his film just because it's a tribute to the New Wave? I mean, come on, "Nouvelle Vague" is just a fancy name for "Richard Linklater made a movie with a lot of nostalgia". And don't even get me started on the lack of originality 
. Guess that's the power of being a breakout film 
.
. Now I'm curious about this Jim Carrey guy who's getting an honorary award 
. Linklater's "Nouvelle Vague" is cool, I guess, it's like they took all the clichés from Godard's "Breathless" and mashed them up into a new movie 
. It's all just a bunch of hype, if you ask me 
.
It'll be awesome to see who takes home those awards on February 26 
I'm literally SO stoked for "Nouvelle Vague" - it's like Richard Linklater is paying homage to the OG New Wave and doing it justice! The fact that it's got 10 nominations at the Cesar Awards is just insane, you know? And Can't believe Carine Tardieu, Dominik Moll, Stéphane Demoustier, Hafsia Herzi, Thierry Kliffa, Pauline Loquès and Oliver Laxe are all in the running for Best Director, it's like a dream come true!
