In episode 159 Sam is joined by filmmaker Richard Linklater, director of Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, School of Rock, and Blue Moon. His new movie, Nouvelle Vague, follows the shooting of Godard's Breathless [À Bout De Souffle]. 

Richard has chosen Breathless [À Bout De Souffle] (90 mins). Directed by Jean-Luc Godard and released in 1960, the classic French New Wave drama stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg.
