Breathless
T
he landmark film by Godard that helped to usher in the French New
Wave. Jean-Paul Belmondo stars as a small-time hood on the run from
the law, having an affair with an American girl in Paris (Jean Seberg).
A film that owes much to American film noir and even B movies (it is
dedicated to Monogram Pictures), yet its innovative visual style
revolutionized
the world of film. Based on a story by Francois Truffaut.
