Godard's first feature has been widely hailed as one of the most influential motion pictures ever made. On the run after killing a cop, a small-time crook (Belmondo) hides out in Paris with an American girl (Seberg). After she betrays him, he chooses to face his fate with an absurd stoicism modelled on his hero, Humphrey Bogart. Breathless is the arguable cornerstone of the French New Wave, exhibiting the trademark documentary shooting style, natural sound design and thematic interest in the detritus of American popular culture. - Baker & Taylor
The story of a car thief who falls in love with an American woman ex-patriate in Paris, after he has killed a policeman.
