Breathless (1960)
Directed by Jean-Luc
Godard this French film stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg.
After killing a policeman a criminal spends time in Paris trying to
convince his American girl friend to leave for Italy with him.
Coming with a big
reputation this film is an interesting experiment in going against
the norms of the studio films that had come before it. While the film
no doubt has it's interesting elements it is one of those films that
has a bigger impact in it's era than on modern audiences but is still
well worth watching for those interested in film development. The
plot is not bad but like the execution of the film is a bit of an
anti-film at times focusing on the down time between the big events
which works surprisingly well.
4/5
