Breathless(À BOUT DE SOUFFLE)
Dir: Jean-Luc Godard
France, 1960, French/English, 90mins, DCP
Cast: Jean Seberg, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean-Pierre Melville
Godard’s feature debut is a watershed in the history of cinema, which also defines the French New Wave. What is the French New Wave? The uncompromising Jean-Luc Godard, the freewheeling Jean-Paul Belmondo, and the ethereal Jean Seberg. A film that represented a radical rejection of conventional cinema, weaving improvised jazz, stark dialogue, poignant relations and casual violence in jump cuts to challenge us into reconsidering our relationship with time, choice, morality, and cinema itself. A landmark film that remains a breath of fresh air to this day, and still as provocative as ever.
