BREATHLESS (THE CRITERION COLLECTION)

Details

• Release Year: 1960
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Romance, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: There was before Breathless, and there was after Breathless. Jean-Luc Godard burst onto the film scene in 1960 with this jazzy, free-form, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer for Cahiers du cinéma. With its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, anything-goes crime narrative, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, Breathless helped launch the French new wave and ensured cinema would never be the same.
